After sleeping on the problem & reading Forum discussion re 'x11-drm', |
7 |
I've tried a few more things, none of which makes any difference: |
8 |
permutating some options under 'Device' in xorg.conf , |
9 |
checking all relevant items are enabled in the kernel |
10 |
& finally unmerging 'x11-drm', which seems rather flakey |
11 |
& whose removal had not the slightest effect (wry smile). |
12 |
|

However, I did notice 2 lines on the screen after the crashes: |
14 |
|
15 |
Unrecognised deviceID 29c2 |
16 |
backtrace ... |
17 |
... /usr/lib64/dri/i915_dri.so ... (provided by pkg 'mesa') |
18 |

This suggests there is some very basic problem re recognising acceleration |
20 |
on the G33 , caused by a defect in the driver(s) being used. |
21 |
|
22 |
Can anyone confirm that this is the correct diagnosis ? |
23 |
It looks like material for a bug report, but Gentoo or LKML ? |
24 |
|
25 |
A lot of people have been reporting difficulties getting DRI to work here, |
26 |
tho' only a few seem to have encountered my problem of a crash out of X. |
