anyone can help me please???
I have the same issue
Are you guys using an xorg.conf by any chance? If not then try to create one with the ServerLayout section and see if that solves the problem.

thanks for reply

but I create a new xorg.conf and I add those options as the old method "hotpluggin disabled" and nothing.

help

@Slack

I had the same problem, installing xf86-input-synaptics 1.1.0 from testing repository solved my problem.

wow
thanks ras0ir!, now touchpad works

Just an update on my issues with video playback. Xorg 1.6 with the intel drivers in testing work fine in EXA and UXA (although the later is a little slow when dragging the video around the screen). It seems to be a problem with KMS then, maybe I'll have to recompile the 2.6.29 kernel with KMS support built in (or maybe I should remove everything not dealing with i915).

Having an issue with Xinerama, while the mousepointer is on the secondary screen and I press and hold a key (not ctrl, alt or shift) the X server crash or when I have a terminal window open on the primary screen and try to press and hold a key.
I'm a bit uncertain how to report it to the Bugs section though and what logs that are interesting in this case any pointers would be great!

ohh, and sitting on a x86_64 with a nvidia 9600gt

Hmmm, I had to revert to version 2.6.1 of intel driver, since this is the last version that lets me use xv overlay to watch videos -- watching videos without xv overlay results in serious tearing on my card (945GME). The current driver (and 2.6.2 driver as well) results in a green screen when trying to play videos using xv overlay

This appears to have been fixed in -git. I compiled xf86-video-intel-git from the AUR and overlay now works fine.

You're right -- it appears to be fixed Thanks for the info!

im not using xorg.conf, you can enable dri2/uxa ?

no, you have to use an xorg.conf to specify UXA explicitely or use a kms supporting kernel. when kms is used, uxa will be chosen automatically. but since arch doesn't enable CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS, you need the xorg.conf for the easiest solution to get UXA and DRI2 to work.

so did anyone found out how to enable kms/switch to fb early in the boot process (i.e. right after grub) ?

is there a point without a splash to show?

AFAIK, the only one that is geared to actually take advantage of KMS is plymouth. And that isn't ready yet for other distributions (requires patching of a fair number of packages to work).

no there's no real point and it's not a real issue actually. but using vesafb i was used to get the logo and a consistant font size during boot but to be honest, i don't really mind. i saw fedora was able to do it so i thought there were no reason i couldn't (i'm not even talking about graphical boot, just getting in fb). it's more a "make things clean" approach than OMFG9000FPSINMYGRUB...

Just compile kernel with built-in support for either i915 driver and AGP support (and make sure to *disable* FB Vesa support):

CONFIG_DRM_I915=y
CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y
CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y

This works for me, and i can finally see the Tuz logo

Got the latest git version of the intel drivers and everything works like a charm now, including suspend and resume. Problems with video playback under UXA are also solved and everything works like it should! I'll be sticking with this setup for a while, until intel releases 2.7 and it gets into testing... Got custom 2.6.29 kernel with KMS enabled and the console looks really nice.

On my Intel 915GM, latest xf86-video-intel git drivers produce a kernel oops just before the starting of Xorg environment, with consequent black screen and freezing of the machine (i have to manually issue the alt+sysrq+s-u-b keyboard switch). What chipset are you using? Have you compiled also the latest Mesa drivers or only the intel ones?

I've got a GM965 (X3100). I was having trouble with the 2.6.99X drivers, especially with video playback and suspending. The latest version seems to be stable for me. Another one you could try is a 2.7 tagged release from a little over a week ago: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver … el-2.7.zip. I tried to find out if that was the 2.7 release or not, but there's no mention of it anywhere on their site so I can't tell if that's the real deal or not but apparenly it's better than the one currently in testing.

As for the Mesa stuff, I'm using the one currently in the testing repo (7.3-2) without any problems.

I tried again the xorg testing stack on my eeepc (intel 945) but UXA still doesn't work... my screen freezes in ~15sec after booting X, while the mouse still works (and the cursor changes shape too, so the PC IS working, just the visuals don't get updated). Moreover if I use EXA xorg works, but has strange glitches, for example if I pass the mouse over the buttons on the windows decoration (Kwin4 here) sometimes they disappear or are rendered incorrectly...
No one else with the same problem? By reading your posts things I thought are beginning to work for most of you...

Did you try UXA along with a KMS enabled kernel? UXA was very unstable for me, and only after I got KMS working that things settled down.

Ok, I compiled my own kernel with KMS... now xorg defaults to UXA which in turn is quite stable (and I love DRI2 goodness!). By the way, I have still a couple of problems:
- The color depth seems to be lower than before. I have a background with a lot of gradients and I can clearly see color "steps" now.
- I can't switch to VTs anymore! If I press CTRL+ALT+F1 the screen gets distorted and nothing happens. Returning to VT7 returns me to my KDE session with no problem, though.
The second issue is pretty aggravating, as I occasionally leave tasks running in VTs as "background processes"...

Hello for the first time Arch users

Got problems with the new xorg-server and intel driver

My card is: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)

X server doesn't start with EXA. The xorg.log error is:

(EE) intel(0): Failed to pin front buffer: Cannot allocate memory

I can start x server using:

Option  DRI "False"

but no acceleration then....

System works flawlessly on UXA acceleration but only until some gl application are in use (using them a while causes system freeze)

Anyone has the same problem, or maybe can help.

Sorry for my english.

Edit:

After further google investigation solved the problem by putting:

Option Legacy3D   "off"

into the device section

Little update... after a bit of trying I noticed that xorg would freeze after some time a 3d app was running... I tried it with or without a xorg.conf file...

Are these lines the only "magic" ones I had to enable in the kernel?
CONFIG_DRM_I915=y
CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y
CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y

Thank you for your help! Arch has a great community :-)

i had similar issues with xf86-video-intel 2.6.99.902. it has been fixed in git later. unfortunately git master is unusable (for me at least) at the moment. try cloning somewhere around 21st of march and it should work (or wait for 2.7)
