The system hangs in short intervals (whenever moving/opening windows) with an old known error message:

[drm:drm_atomic_helper_commit_cleanup_done [drm_kms_helper]] *ERROR* [CRTC:31:pipe A] flip_done timed out

see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=218581

reverting to 772 for the moment helps.

anyone else seeing this?

best

Edit: added trace

Do you need the intel DDX driver? If not, just remove it.

masterofamn · 2017-06-10 09:13:24

Good point. After reading
https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm … ideointel/
I just uninstalled it and will test if my docking station/external monitor works.
I was also thinking this was THE intel driver - but apparently it is not - I do not really care much about 2d acceleration.

Trilby · 2017-06-10 10:11:33

You still have 2d acceleration without the intel DDX, it's built into the kernel.

masterofamn · 2017-06-10 16:29:19

thanks for your replies, Trilby!

First issue with using modesetting instead of video-intel I now realized when using my laptop outside in the garden:

$ xbacklight -inc 11
No outputs have backlight property

=> I can't change my screen backlight anymore using my old config from the intel driver.

I saw some things about using xrandr instead - but the "--brightness" switch from xrandr is obviously something different. I'll have to do some reading/googling on this.

Trilby · 2017-06-10 18:48:23

That's a known issue with xbacklight. I have hardware/firmware buttons that work fine on my lenovo x200 (Fn+Home, Fn+End). Alternatively, you can write directly to the device files under /sys/class/backlight: there are various scripts out there to automate this.

Also note that there are some circumstances in which having the intel DDX is necessary/worthwhile. I've not encountered any such cases on any of my intel hardware, but I really did mean the initial question as a question. If you don't need the intel DDX then don't use it - but if it still important there may be other ways to fix the hang.

masterofamn · 2017-06-10 20:42:43

Interesting, that it works on a X200 out of the box - my Fn+Home, Fn+End work until I leave grub. After that, booting into Arch they are no longer doing anything. I have now reconfigured my keys to echo directly to /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness instead of using xbacklight. This works for now and I will see what else there is in store that may not work. In case I run into severe stuff, I can reinstall the working intel version from my cache...

Trilby · 2017-06-10 21:30:22

I do have the kernel parameter "acpi_osi=Linux" which may account for my brightness keys working.

I hope I am not hijacking the thread, where exactly did you place the "acpi_osi=Linux" on the parameter since I am having the same issue, are you on systemd?

Trilby · 2017-06-11 01:47:09

It's a kernel parameter, the init system is irrelevant - but yes it is systemd.

ugjka · 2017-06-11 06:32:31

I have a similar problem, when my screen goes to sleep the system hangs completely. Reverted back to modesetting driver, but it in not good for gaming

masterofamn · 2017-06-11 15:14:37

Just a heads up on the (off-topic) brightness-thing: using the kernel parameter Trilby mentioned (and also including acpi_brightness=vendor) does not work on my X220.

Edit: ...but "acpi_backlight=video acpi_osi=Linux" does.
