I'm using slackware 12.1, for some reason X server crashes, not very often, actually this happened to me 7 times, i'm not able to detect what is causing the crash since the crash happens some times even when i'm opining only Xfce without any program running. after the crash i can't restart my X server anymore, in the Xorg log file i saw this: Ring at virtual 0xa787d000 head 0xcaac tail 0xca90 count 32761 0000ca2c: 02000000 0000ca30: 54f00006 0000ca34: 03cc2000 0000ca38: 0014002c 0000ca3c: 00180030 0000ca40: 01000000 0000ca44: 00000000 0000ca48: 00000010 0000ca4c: 02000000 0000ca50: 54f00006 0000ca54: 03cc2000 0000ca58: 00140030 0000ca5c: 00180034 0000ca60: 01000000 0000ca64: 00000000 0000ca68: 00000010 0000ca6c: 02000000 0000ca70: 54f00006 0000ca74: 03cc2000 0000ca78: 00140034 0000ca7c: 00180038 0000ca80: 01000000 0000ca84: 00000000 0000ca88: 00000010 0000ca8c: 02000000 0000ca90: 00000000 0000ca94: 00000000 0000ca98: 00000000 0000ca9c: 00000000 0000caa0: 00000000 0000caa4: 00000000 0000caa8: 00000000 0000caac: 00000000 Ring end space: 20 wanted 32 (II) intel(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel (II) intel(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xf8e86000 at 0xb7a8c000 (II) intel(0): [drm] Closed DRM master.

Hm, there are a few of these intermittent crasher bugs open... Can you try to reproduce with the ExaNoComposite option set to true?
Oh and please try with DRI disabled as well, this could be the 3D driver misprogramming the chip, causing the 2D driver to hang.

Anyway i'll post if i have any news. Many thanks.
(In reply to comment #5) > for some reason i'm not able to disable dri You can disable it adding the following option: Option "DRI" "false"

Also please note that i've tried the above procedure using xf86-video-intel-2.3.2 and 2.3.1, and seems there is difference between the old and the new one, with the new one the X server tries to start 3 times and gives me the error that the server has crashed 3 times and i go the to tty, but with the old one i got only black screen and i can't use the keyboard.
Reassigning to the dri driver guys, can you provide specific steps for reproducing this?
(In reply to comment #12) > Reassigning to the dri driver guys, can you provide specific steps for > reproducing this? > Yes, actually recently i discovered that the server crashes with GIMP, scaling or rotating a layer on an image for example, or the image itself. A game called sauerbraten, crashes the server, with some heavy maps in the game. Please if you can provide me how can i start the X server without having to reboot the machine, when the server crashes i can't start it again, if i try to do it tries to load but it doesn't.
reassigning this 3d bug to Haihao.

Could you try mesa_7_0_branch ?

Anyway as the number of affected persons increases the chance of getting a solution increases also, so i hope to get a patch or something before the end life of my laptop.
