DetailsDescription:
after a pacman -Syu kernel updated from kernel262.6.21.6-1 to kernel26-2.6.22.1-3 When I restarted the computer. Everything was fine until I typed in startx to start X windows. X windows started but did not load the window manager (icewm). After about 5 seconds the screen became a mix of colors. I could not quit x windows by using "ctrl"+"alt"+"backspace". I also could not switch to another tty by using "ctrl"+"alt"+"F1" etc. I had to restart the computer by pushing the power switch. I had to do a pacman --upgrade to an older version of kernel26. kernel262.6.21.6-1 This fixed the problem. Additional info: * package version(s) * config and/or log files etc. I dont know where the xorg logs are? Steps to reproduce: upgrade kernel to kernel26-2.6.22.1-3 restart computer type startx |
This task depends upon
I used an ftp install when installed the latest kernel i.e. kernel26-2.6.22.2-1
When I started the X.org Server it froze the computer again.
I needed to do a restart the computer by pressing the power button.
I reinstalled the older kernel i.e. kernel26-2.6.21.6-1 and that works.
I use the video driver xf86-video-i810
This is the Xorg error

dri is installed by the package libgl-dri.
the dri module did not cause X.org to lockup before kernel26-2.6.22.1-3
Should I close this bug?
Without this module some games run very slow (3D acceleration?) but other than that everything else is fine.
I think this is the error's log, from /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old

However if I use 16 bit colour in the xorg.conf file X crashes.

Has anyone found any workaround to successfully run xorg on 16-bit color depth other than downgrading the kernel?
