Description:

I'm not able to say what triggers the crash as it's happened just twice or three times since the recent X.org 1.16 update, but the backtrace is the same each time:

Searching for "DRI2GetBuffersWithFormat" produced a few old bug reports, but nothing recent/open.

This is on a Dell Latitude E6430 laptop with hybrid Intel/Nvidia graphics. I believe the Intel chip is an HD 4000, not sure what the NVidia chip is exactly (I disable it at boot time with bbswitch). I have also been connecting an external VGA monitor lately, not sure if that's related.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
xf86-video-intel 2.99.914-3
xorg-server 1.16.0-6
linux 3.15.8-1
bbswitch 0.8-14

* config and/or log files etc.
See attached logs.

Steps to reproduce:
Unknown
   Xorg.0.log (25.1 KiB)
   Xorg.0.log-2 (37.3 KiB)
This task depends upon

Same problem here. Randomly X will crash and I'll see my login manager rather than what I was working on. I've disabled xscreensaver and that might have made it more stable, but it's too soon for me to tell if removing xscreensaver helped or if it just hasn't decided to crash since. The longest I've gone is 24 hours without a crash so far.

Same problem here too, with an Optimus laptop (Intel HD4600/NVidia GTX 765). Same package versions except linux (3.15.7 for now). However the stack trace is different, PictureDestroyWindow this time:

It occurs randomly too, I think I've had it twice in 5 days so it's pretty hard to reproduce...

This time it was when logging in. X was already running but compton and a bunch of other things would have been starting up.

I get the same error, random X crash after a variable amount of time.

Interesting, your backtrace shows that if fails when calling malloc...

I've had one or two more crashes recently with similar backtraces as the one I posted (none since I've installed 3.16 though, we'll see how it develops). For what it's worth, it never happens when I'm using my computer, it either happens when I'm going out of hibernation or when the screensaver is on. I'm surprised nobody has a single clue about this problem!
Comment by persson (persson) - Wednesday, 20 August 2014, 21:28 GMT
Yes, same here! As long as I'm working and doing stuff, everything is fine. If I leave it (xscreensaver starts by itself after a few minutes), chances are very high that it crashes within 3 or 4 hours.

Unfortunately I am on 3.16 already:

core/linux 3.16.1-1 (base) [installed]

And xorg 1.16:

extra/xorg-server 1.16.0-6 (xorg) [installed]
extra/xorg-server-common 1.16.0-6 [installed]

I'm getting this with a different stack trace each time, but it's reliably happening after primusrun finishes.

Upstream report here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82979
Comment by John Lindgren (jlindgren) - Saturday, 23 August 2014, 03:58 GMT
As a workaround, disable SNA acceleration and use UXA instead:

Upstream has a patch which fixes the problem for me:

Thanks John for reporting the issue upstream! For now I'll use the UXA workaround, I'll wait for the next release of xorg to get the actual fix.

please test with xf86-video-intel-2.99.916-1 in testing
Comment by Kevin Brodsky (Corax) - Thursday, 11 September 2014, 12:50 GMT
2.99.916 is now in extra, I installed it today and I switched back to SNA. I've had no segfault with the UXA workaround. I'll test the new version for a week, after that I think we can consider the issue resolved.
Comment by John Lindgren (jlindgren) - Saturday, 13 September 2014, 17:33 GMT
2.99.916-1 seems good here.
