Re: Problems with dri

Thanks for you reply!
I think the support to savage dri is unstable,so i disabled the dri.

Re: Problems with dri

It's not unstable, I used the devel version with Xorg 6.8.2 and it never once crashed on me. Umm, let's see... Could you post your xorg.conf file? That might be of some help.

Re: Problems with dri

Group 0? Ah never mind, that should be users I think... I don't think it's necessary to specify the group though, in most cases.

Umm, let's see what else...

- Try commenting out HorizSync and VertRefresh, that stuff should be autodetected by DDC.

- Try adding, in the Display subsection of the Screen section:

Option "IgnoreEDID" "false"

Re: Problems with dri

remove the group 0 line from your Xorg.conf, as it is the root group.

[~/.config/blog]$ cat /etc/group|grep 0
root::0:root
wheel::10:root,iphitus
users::100:iphitus

(dont remove it from /etc/group)

I removed the group 0 line,but it crashed again.

Re: Problems with dri

I don't really know if it matters but in server layout you have:
Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0

Should that be (?):
Screen       "Screen0" 0 0

Re: Problems with dri

Nope.

Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
