Description: v1.4.1-3 causing The White Screen of Death
(WSoD) to my laptop.
Honestly, I don't know which is the exact reason causing that. Downgrading to xorg-init-1.4.1-2 and/or freetype2-2.10.2-1 seems to fix the problem for me. Additional info: * package info: downgraded xorg-xinit (1.4.1-3 -> 1.4.1-2) ; downgraded freetype2 (2.10.3-1 -> 2.10.2-1) * config and/or log files etc: pacman.log, Xorg.0.log, journalctl.log of predowngrading session. * Installed drivers: % pacman -Qs driver local/libraw1394 2.1.2-3 Provides an API to the Linux IEEE1394 (FireWire) driver local/libva-intel-driver 2.4.1-1 VA-API implementation for Intel G45 and HD Graphics family local/mesa 20.2.0-2 An open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification local/ntfs-3g 2017.3.23-5 NTFS filesystem driver and utilities local/vulkan-icd-loader 1.2.153-2 Vulkan Installable Client Driver (ICD) Loader local/vulkan-intel 20.2.0-2 Intel's Vulkan mesa driver local/xf86-input-libinput 0.30.0-1 (xorg-drivers) Generic input driver for the X.Org server based on libinput local/xf86-video-amdgpu 19.1.0-2 (xorg-drivers) X.org amdgpu video driver local/xf86-video-ati 1:19.1.0-2 (xorg-drivers) X.org ati video driver local/xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+908+g7181c5a4-1 (xorg-drivers) X.org Intel i810/i830/i915/945G/G965+ video drivers local/xorg-xdriinfo 1.0.6-2 (xorg-apps xorg) Query configuration information of DRI drivers * link to upstream bug report, if any: None Steps to reproduce: Nope. |
This task depends upon
What I mean is that I downgraded both at the same time and it seems to fix the problem.
the screen freezes and slowly turns white.
I doubt your system fails over "uname -n" that's part of coreutils.
I think this bug exists but not on xorg-xinit now.
I am still experiencing the White screen after downgrading xorg-xinit.
Is there any place I can report the bug and receive helps to diagnostic
the problem ?
