Xorg freeze

It happen often that X freeze... cold reboot is required ! So have no access to log (Complete freeze !)

I think that the composite extension (without use of xapps) is the cause

It freeze in xfce4 and in gnome

Since yeaterday, i have tried to use it with composite disabled to point find problem !!! But... i want it !!!

YES i setup correctly my xorg.conf with RENDER COMPOSITE and GLX stuff


Need help !

EDIT : I don<t know if it is important to say... but i compiled my kernel from source ! i have no problem with it !

Re: Xorg freeze

Yes - I have used it and it works really good here.  There's quite a performance hit without some higher end graphics card installed ... I have an nVIDIA GeForce2 and it works well with that card.  Here's an example:

Re: Xorg freeze

If you have an nVidia, there are a lot of driver options you can pass to your card in /etc/X11/xorg.conf that might solve the instability issuses. I had it working flawlessly on my GF2 MX-400, but it was so slooooow it wasn't worth it.

Check the README.txt from nVidia's drivers for more information.

Re: Xorg freeze

By default if composite is enabled GLX is disabled by Nvidia's drivers.

Re: Xorg freeze

Which you actually did poorly.

gcc and make should be MAKEDEPENDS. Not dependencies.

It looks great!, wich driver version are you using?, actually i'm using 6111 because 6629 and the latest version it doesn't work for me (freeze) . And i've got the same GeForce than you.
By the way, I'm not using composite tongue

P.S. : This is my first post, and I'm an Arch user since 2 days ago smile

Re: Xorg freeze

That's why I think miqorz is being anal about the issue.  He seems to think otherwise though...

Re: Xorg freeze

Hmm, I just realized that even the arch package isn't fully just a "package"..

NVidia drivers are fucking weird.

Re: Xorg freeze

Yea uhm, gcc has to be a dep, because it's used at install time to compile the modules.


The suggestion box only accepts patches.

I wonder if there is a way around that?

Re: Xorg freeze

cannot use it, because radeon for FireGL 7800 is not really fast and very buggy in displaying using composite
