[solved]kicad-git schematic editor crashing

I have problems with kicad-git. When I open the schematic editor, it is crashing with this error:

(kicad:303245): Gdk-ERROR **: 19:08:02.290: The program 'kicad' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 2823 error_code 2 request_code 151 (GLX) minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

Is there a way to fix this, or move my projects to the mainline non-git kicad?

Do you use wayland? There is an upstream bug report "KiCad does not work natively on Wayland."

No wayland. kicad-git was working before. I made some projects here and since some weeks it doesn't anymore. I can't tell if it failed after a new compilation. Can someone confirm that a current installation works for them?

Re: [solved]kicad-git schematic editor crashing

I just got it working. I removed a configuration for my intel gpu:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
which contained:

Section "Device"
  Identifier "Intel Graphics"
  Driver "intel"
  Option "TearFree" "true"
  Option "DRI" "2"
EndSection

I rebuild kicad and can now confirm, that a recent checkout also works for me.
