Created attachment 137822 [details] xserver error After installing the latest git version of xserver (2018-03-06), the xserver doesn't start anymore because of the following error: modeset(0): failed to set mode: Invalid argument. Please see the attached Xorg.0.log
No such issue when using xorg-server-1.19.99.901. Replacing /xorg/git/xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/modesetting by the version of /xorg/xorg-server-1.19.99.901/hw/xfree86/drivers/modesetting too works without problem.
After make install commit 7fc89251... Revert "modesetting: Remove #ifdefs XF86_PDEV_SERVER_FD" still the same error [762.974] (EE) modeset(0): failed to set mode: Invalid argument.
Issue fixed, no more modeset error after installing the latest git version of xserver (2018-03-19).
looks like i have the same problem, applied in a little different place that wasn't fixed. i get this error after waking up from sleep, crashing the running X. After booting, i can start X11 without any problem, it is just when waking up that the X11 returns the "modeset: failed to set mode: invalid argument" and crashes. Using the same kernel with a older X11, it worked fine, so this is related with the new X11 version xorg-server-1.20.0 xf86-video-modesetting-0.9.0

Not using xf86-video-modesetting-0.9.0 which is four years old. The modesetting driver is merged into the xserver.
you are right the modesetting 0.9 drive is old and all it files where already overwriten by the xserver package... i missed the notification about it being obsolete. Maybe hardware also help here? i've a AMD RX480, A10 CPU/APU and 2 screens. So if this isn't directly the same bug applied to a different code path, i will research more and see if i can grab more info
