Description: I'm using a toshiba Satellite L300-2cz with a Intel GMA 4500M GPU. Today, after updating my archlinux with testing enabled on it, I noticed that xf86-video-intel driver 2.21.13 hangs shutdown process.

"Downgrading" to xf86-video-intel driver 2.21.12 fixes this bug.


Additional info:
package : xf86-video-intel 2.21.13-1

Steps to reproduce:

Just use archlinux + testing and a computer with an intel GPU. Upgrade, and try to shut down your computer. It'll hang.
This task depends upon

Please test with xf86-video-intel-2.21.14-1 in testing

Tested and still busted :(

Weird part is that when I use xf86-video-intel-git package from AUR, it works and my computer is shutting down cleanly.

Sorry !

Probably you're using SNA with xf86-video-intel, while you're using UXA with xf86-video-intel-git.
Comment by Frederic Bezies (fredbezies) - Monday, 05 August 2013, 08:23 GMT
Sure. So what is the answer ? Making two packages ? I never had any problems with xf86-video-intel until version 2.21.13.
Comment by Jan de Groot (JGC) - Monday, 05 August 2013, 08:41 GMT
You can change between UXA and SNA by using a config file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection

2.21.14 changed the default to SNA, all previous versions use UXA if you don't configure anything.

Thanks for both info and tip. It fixes the bug.

Don't forget to report these in the upstream bug report
Comment by Frederic Bezies (fredbezies) - Sunday, 18 August 2013, 19:57 GMT
Reported info upstream. Workaround using 20-intel.conf works. So, why keeping it open ? :D
