X crashes with YouTube video pages after xf86-video-intel upgrade

X crashes when trying to view a YouTube video page after the last xf86-video-intel upgrade. I think it happens with other websites as well but most of them work just fine. If I downgrade xf86-video-intel to the previous version the problem is gone.

Xorg.0.log shows:

I can confirm that exactly the same happens to me.

You tube works fine for me with 64-bit flashplugin, no xorg.conf and KMS working.

Re: X crashes with YouTube video pages after xf86-video-intel upgrade

It seems this problem does not happen with the latest kernel26 (2.6.32.8-1). X crashed with an older kernel (2.6.31.6-1). Now if only my wifi wasn't broken in the latest one...

What kernel are you guys using while having this problem?

Re: X crashes with YouTube video pages after xf86-video-intel upgrade

Good point, I'm still on 2.6.31.6-1 due to the issue with wireless in the new kernel.

Re: X crashes with YouTube video pages after xf86-video-intel upgrade

Same here, I was using 2.6.31.6-1. The problem is gone since upgrading to 2.6.32.8-1 but now I have unstable wireless and visual glitches instead. Crap.

Just like you guys the choice is have X crash or have no wireless.

You can have both if you downgrade kernel26 and xf86-video-intel.

Re: X crashes with YouTube video pages after xf86-video-intel upgrade

What are you using to setup the network?  I have problems with all the network scripts that are configured through rc.conf but wicd works well.  The kernel is 2.6.32.8-1 and wicd is version 1.7.0-2.

Perhaps the problem is that the network scripts are started too early with the new kernel? Right now I'm fine with using wicd as none of the systems are servers.

Re: X crashes with YouTube video pages after xf86-video-intel upgrade

I thought I might add that it appears I have a stable and functional system now, while running the latest xf86-video-intel and kernel from Arch stable.

Hardware: Eee PC 901 (945GME Express and RT2860)

Video driver: xf86-video-intel-2.10.0-1
Kernel: kernel26-2.6.32.8-1
Wireless: rt2860-2.3.0.0-1 (from AUR)

I backed up the existing rt2860sta.ko module to my home directory and removed it from the staging directory after installing, then re-ran depmod -a. If you don't do this the original rt2860sta module will load instead of the one from the AUR. To the kernel line in my grub configuration I added i915.powersave=0 and that solved the screen flickering and frequent hard freezes I was experiencing.

So, knock on wood, now I have a usable, fairly stable system for the time being.

Nope still the same problem. Thats why I said one or the other. I'm just gonna learn to deal with it for now.

The same problem with me. X is stopping after working about 5-30 minutes

Re: X crashes with YouTube video pages after xf86-video-intel upgrade

This problem seems to be solved with the latest updates (kernel26 2.6.33.2-1, xf86-video-intel 2.10.0-1). My wireless seems to be working fine too :-)
