Can’t launch anygame - libgl 9 + intel-dri 9 (i915 module)

Hello,

I got a problem after last update, i can’t launch any game (i already had this
problem before, but only with some games).
Here is the message i got when trying to launch a game (with or without wine):

X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  153 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
  Serial number of failed request:  311
  Current serial number in output stream:  315

(474) [root@astroboy] ~ # pacman -Q linux libgl intel-dri
linux 3.6.5-1
libgl 9.0-1
intel-dri 9.0-1

Even if i downgrade, i’ll still got issues, so downgrade is not the solution
(imho).

I have a similarly old card, same issues and I read this as 'go buy a real graphics card' ;P

A somewhat similar thread, but I'm not sure if this solution would work for you: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151044

Oh, thanks.
But disabling GPU acceleration is not a solution, as the game will be too slow to play

Have you tried running uxa instead of sna?

I'm talking about

Option "AccelMethod" "sna"

from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf.

I can't really test it because my gpu hangs w/o the acceleration disabled.

I had a similar issue on my x86_64 system. The solution was to install the lib32-intel-dri package.
