Description Alex Kempshall 2018-06-06 08:40:03 UTC

Since installing mesa-18.0.4.tar.xz provided by my distro I get a black screen when using startx.

The environment I see this on is 

Slackware64-Current running in virtualbox.

I have two work arounds

1.
Don't maximise the virtualbox window

2.
add nomodeset as a kernel parameter when booting.

I have downloaded the Mesa git repository and bisected the code and will attach the bisect log

Please advise me if you require any other information.

First sentence in my initial bug report is wrong it should read

Since upgrading from mesa-18.0.4.tar.xz  to mesa-18.1.1.tar.xz provided by my distro I get a black screen when using startx.
