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.
