[SOLVED] After latest updates, scrambled video with intel drivers

Hello,

I updated my Arch with the latest from [testing], and now am getting the following screen corruption. Oddly enough, there's no X crash.

Image (this was difficult to upload, because every single time I tried to even open ImageShack, any browser froze), this is on my external monitor but it also happens at the main monitor:

Any suggestions (besides a downgrade)? I use Intel X3100.

EDIT: If I disable 3D acceleration (via the flag "NoAccel" on my xorg.conf) it works as expected. For the time being, this is the workaround I found.

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] After latest updates, scrambled video with intel drivers

I had similar problem.

Any suggestions (besides a downgrade)?

What about a "tiny" downgrade?
I solved my problem by downgrading xf86-video-intel-2.6.99.902-2 to xf86-video-intel-2.6.99.902-1. I added also nopat and enable_mtrr_cleanup booting flags to prevent some problems with xorg memory usage and MTRR.

EDIT: See also http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=68709
It is a bit different issu but may be helpful.

This did it. After compiling xf86-video-intel from ABS testing (where it still was at -1 revision) it works perfectly. Thanks.

Same problem here, can you send me the -1 revision?

Found the -1 revision on the cvs.

Looks like the problem is the 2.7 patch - I think that needs to be reviewed, because the patch apparently doesn't work .

Try this link: http://mirrors.gigenet.com/archlinux/te … pkg.tar.gz

(out-of-sync repos come in handy sometimes)
