Description Fabio Coatti 2013-10-28 07:53:24 UTC
Starting from 2.99.905 (903 is fine) xorg crashes when using xf86-video-intel driver.

This happens when starting kde, during session init phase. Interesting enough, it happens only if xorg reads the configuration file, thati is very minimal:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "Monitor Model"
        Modeline "1600x1200_56.00"  149.00  1600 1704 1872 2144  1200 1203 1207 1242 -hsync +vsync


(I'm forced to use this file because 60Hz can't be managed by the monitor, stupid hardware bug)

If I remove the xorg.conf completely, the crash does not happen (but of course the monitor blinks and whines like crazy :) )
