glxgears causing segmentation faults since last update

mbender · 2009-10-31 21:37:17

Hi Fellows,

since I updated my system glxgears is not starting but throwing an seg fault instead.

I am running a
ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]
with the ati drivers (xf86-video-ati 6.12.99.git20091014-1).

I attached the result of a 'glxgears -info' as I assume it might contain useful information.

xf86-video-ati isn't running :hmm: (Mesa Software Rasterizer)

mokkurkalve · 2009-10-31 23:29:39

There was a major Xorg upgrade today yes. I got new xserver, mesa and new xf86-video-intel 2.9.1-1. Most seems to work OK, but trying to run glxgears or glxinfo now suddently causes total system freeze. Atleast I can not access anything, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (yes I have reenabled it in xorg.conf) don't do anything and the fan starts going like crazy (so probably the CPU are going full tilt) and I must take a hard shutdown by long press on the powerbutton. Well, if running glxgears are the only thing that will cause this I will refrain from doing that, I just hope nothing like that happens in daily use of the netbook. I could run glxgears fine with the previous xserver.

Machine are Acer Aspire One D150. My graphics hw:

lspci | grep Graphics

glxgears does not run here too after the latest update but my machine doesn't crash with either glxgears or glxinfo

$ glxgears 
drmRadeonCmdBuffer: -22. Kernel failed to parse or rejected command stream. See dmesg for more info.

Funny thing is that dmesg says nothing

$ lspci | grep VGA

seiichiro0185 · 2009-11-01 06:24:45

same goes for me, glxgears throws the same error message like ROOKIEs, and running more complex things like extremetuxracer has the same system freeze effekt that mokkurkalve describes (although I'm still able to ssh into the box, but trying to reboot from there hangs at some point).

This is with a radeon 4670 (I know, no 3d accel as of yet, but at least the SW-Rasterizer was working fine before the update)

Hmm, I am not sure about this. I am using KMS with radeon, which is the driver provided by the package xf86-video-ati (AFAIK), so I think it's strange if it isn't running after all.
A call to 'lspci -v' shows the following:

Kernel driver in use: radeon
Kernel modules: radeon, radeonfb

In my case dmesg is more talkative as I get a new message each time I try to start glxgears.

Add "nomodeset" at the kernel options in menu.lst, and reboot. I guess something is going wrong in your system.

R00KIE · 2009-11-01 11:40:45

I already have "nomodeset" as a kernel option, also kms doesn't seem to be working here, I've tried loading radeon as a module like the wiki says but no joy, except for these two things everything seems to be working properly, I have direct rendering and xv (oh and firefox seems to go a little faster after the latest xorg-* update ... placebo effect?).

flamelab · 2009-11-01 11:45:55

Have you rebuilt the initramfs like the wiki says ?

mbender · 2009-11-01 13:24:03

Thanks for your help flamelab.
I disabled KMS and glxgears worked like a charm.
I am a bit puzzled now as I had glxgears working with KMS before the update. So probably something went wrong with the update after all.
I activated KMS by following the instructions in the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI) and already tried rebuilding the ramdisk without any change. I am not using a xorg.conf.

R00KIE · 2009-11-01 14:11:26

For me it doesn't work with kms disabled ... but I did use a framebuffer ... when I can I'll try without a framebuffer and with kms disabled.

mokkurkalve · 2009-11-01 17:06:37

As previously mentioned I'm using the intel driver. I've also been using xorg.conf and uvesafb framebuffer driver. So for testing purposes I now deleted xorg.conf and regenerated the initramfs without any framebufferdriver at all (I have not been using KMS, I tried it once but it didn't work). But the result remains the same; with the new xserver I get total X freeze if trying to run glxgears.

mbender · 2009-11-04 08:27:49

I was playing around a bit and found a 'solution'. I fetched the PKGBUILD for libdrm-newest from AUR and compiled and installed it. And now glxgears is working again...

mokkurkalve · 2009-11-04 16:45:21

This solution didn't change anything for me. Still full freeze when trying to run glxgears.

mokkurkalve · 2009-11-05 07:44:42

The situation actually got worse. Later I got full freeze at xserver initialization (login).
Anyway, happy ending: Installing libdrm-newest and xf86-video-intel-newest from AUR fixed every issue; glxgears run fine and all.

Didn't work for me. I'm still getting Segmentation fault and dmesg shows

glxgears[1815]: segfault at 1300 ip b73bb084 sp bfc51380 error 4 in libdricore.so[b72ca000+206000]

I'm not using xorg.conf

kgas · 2009-11-07 16:29:13

I got the same error as ROOKIE's post #4

The followings are the observation with HD3450 Ati card in hp dv5 laptop (nomodeset in kernel line)

Driver : xf86-video-ati

with and without frame buffer setting issue remains the same. Also tried with and without xorg.conf

Driver: xf86-video-radeonhd

without xorg.conf glxgears works (145 FPS) but the desktop is not usable (fonts rendering / images are very poor)
with xorg.conf (generated by x) glxgears fails.

Arch Linux
