[SOLVED] Xorg not recognizing screens after update

I've got a nettop box running Arch with Xorg+XBMC being autostarted. However, after a update the recent days, Xorg is not able to start anymore. The log files state that it wasnt able to find any screens. I have no specific configuration for the screens anyway, the box is attached via HDMI to my TV and it worked like a charm (at least until I did an update recently). How does it come that its not able to find the screens anymore? The box freezes right after X tries to start, leaving me unable to connect via SSH to it.

Hardware: Intel HD (3000) built-in graphics into Sandybridge Celeron DualCore processor. Using the xf86-video-intel driver.

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg not recognizing screens after update

I Have the same problem, u can temporary fix it with:

Option "NoAccel" "True"

I Think this is something with xorg, I am still testing with downgrading xorg but still with no success. Things I've downgraded:

xf86-input-evdev 2.7.3-2 -> 2.7.3-1
xf86-video-intel 2.20.9-2 -> 2.20.9-1
xorg-server-common 1.13.0-2 -> 1.12.4-1
xorg-server 1.13.0-2 -> 1.12.4-1

Also the following options in xorg.conf don't work (and results in freezing X/machine):

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa"
EndSection

And adding the following code to screen:

DefaultDepth 24

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg not recognizing screens after update

Finally found a workaround! Just downgrade the following packages:

intel-dri 9.0-1 -> 8.0.4-3
libegl 9.0-1 -> 8.0.4-3
libgbm 9.0-1 -> 8.0.4-3
libgl 9.0-1 -> 8.0.4-3
libglapi 8.0.4-3 -> 8.0.4-3
mesa 9.0-1 -> 8.0.4-3
xf86-input-evdev 2.7.3-2 -> 2.7.3-1
xf86-video-intel 2.20.9-2 -> 2.20.9-1
xorg-server-common 1.13.0-2 -> 1.12.4-1
xorg-server 1.13.0-2 -> 1.12.4-1

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg not recognizing screens after update

I've downgraded intel-dri, xf86-video-intel, xf86-input-evdev, xorg-server and xorg-server-common to versions from August and it works again. Seems like something is broken in newer versions.
Thank you guys for helping out! smile

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg not recognizing screens after update

Although the downgrade worked, I'm wondering what causes the update to break X to work correctly? I've tried to update this morning again and it still doesn't work. I could limit the problem to the package intel-dri and its dependency libgl (8.0 works, 9.0 does not). Is there any information about this?

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg not recognizing screens after update

Quite a few months have passed and it still doesen't work (with latest package versions). I did a clean reinstall, but without success.

This is what I got so far:
Booting without "nomodeset" in the kernel arguments will result into freezing the system (I can't get to the login prompt, nor login via SSH). (Yes, the Wiki entry says that I should not be using nomodeset, but without that setting I can not even use the system in non-GUI mode). As suggested by a IRC user, I downgreaded the kernel to 3.6.10-1 (before: 3.7.3-1), without success.

When having the system booted with nomodeset, "startx" will report that no screens are found (just like described in the original post of this thread). As mentioned in tons of Forum threads across different Linux distributions, including Arch, there is no need to do any configuration using xorg.conf. This is true, as the box worked back in August last year without any xorg.conf.

So... what am I doing wrong?
