Description:

Xorg crashes just after using git gui&
As making a "commit", "push" "push"
I get an "OK" message from the git-server
About 5-10 seconds after, most of texts from git gui window become as a black rectangle.
At the same time, I use firefox to make a (kdepim/akonadi) review.
The black rectangles came also instead of texts in the firefox window.

I use:
firefox 23.0.1-1
git 1.8.4-1

This seams to be not relevant. Even with
firefox-22.0-1
git-1.8.3.4-1

More, the problem seams to be with the use of xf86-video-intel-2.21.14-2

Downgrading to xf86-video-intel-2.21.12-1

is a workaround for me.
This task depends upon

Have you try with xf86-video-intel-2.21.15 ?

If problem persist, please fill a bug upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org (provide xorg, kernel log)

You can also enable old uxa acceleration method through "xorg.conf" file.

Yes, also with xf86-video-intel-2.21.15.
I have a look to
# systemd-coredumpctl
Mon 2013-08-19 14:45:07 CEST 1081 0 0 6 /usr/bin/Xorg
it was the first time I get a crash. And I had make a pacman -Su just before:
from /var/log/pacman.log:
[2013-08-19 11:41] [PACMAN] upgraded xf86-video-intel (2.21.12-1 -> 2.21.14-2)

Sorry! I lost my laptop where the problem occurs.
I think, I made a modification in the xorg.conf-file that had success, but cannot remenber what.
Please close.
