dmesg output: x crashed and was restarted

With 2.6.31-rc2, X server crashes each time I change options such as anti-aliasing or display effects with KDE; this does not happen with 2.6.30.
(Could not bisect or test rc1 as that crashes on boot for me)
Nothing interesting seems to be in dmesg.

Attaching: dmesg.txt  intel_reg_dumper.txt  lspci_vv.txt  Xorg.0.log.old  xrandr_verbose.txt

System environment:
-- T500 with intel graphics i915
-- lspci output - attached
--  xf86-video-intel:2.7.0
-- xserver: 1.6.1.901 (1.6.2 RC 1)
-- mesa version:
   GL_RENDERER   = Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset 
      GEM 20090114 x86/MMX/SSE2
   GL_VERSION    = 2.1 Mesa 7.6-devel
   GL_VENDOR     = Tungsten Graphics, Inc
-- libdrm: 2.4.6
-- kernel: 2.6.31-rc2, 2.6.30 from kernel.org, 2.6.29.4-167
-- Linux distribution: Fedora 11
-- Machine : T500 with intel graphics
-- Display: LVDS

Reproducing steps:
boot with i915.modeset=0

Change options such as anti-aliasing or
display effects with KDE.
X server crashes.

Comment 5 Michael S. Tsirkin 2009-08-02 15:58:46 UTC
Something I should mention: this is a 64 bit kernel with 32 bit userspace.
Haven't tried with a 32 bit kernel.

Comment 6 Gordon Jin 2009-08-02 19:30:21 UTC
Can you try xf86-video-intel 2.8.0?

Why do you disable KMS?
Comment 7 Michael S. Tsirkin 2009-08-02 22:50:01 UTC
A separate bug
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22660
is why I disable KMS: no  modes besides the max one work.
But that is not a regression: it also happens with 2.6.30.

Will try latest bits, but note the server crash seems
like a kernel regression, anyway.

xorg.conf that I used
Comment 9 Michael S. Tsirkin 2009-08-03 00:26:21 UTC
OK, I built the following versions from git:
dri2proto  dri2proto-2.1
drm  libdrm-2.4.12-8-g4507863
macros  util-macros-1.2.2
mesa  mesa_7_5-1982-gd07bf2b
pthread-stubs  0.1-1-gef2431f
xf86-video-intel  2.8.0-19-g50e2a67

With these, I can't activate desktop effects.

KDE gave me this message:
Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be reverted to their previous values.
Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type.

I will attach the log, but it seems a separate issue.

Comment 11 Michael S. Tsirkin 2009-08-03 04:02:31 UTC
BTW, I tried KMS with 2.8.0 and I can't activate
desktop effects there either, while it works with bits
from fedora 11.
Any idea what I did wrong?

sounds like bug#22838
Comment 13 Michael S. Tsirkin 2009-08-04 00:17:51 UTC
yes, I rolled back mesa to the version fedora ships and the following
set of versions does not crash with the new kernel:

dri2proto  dri2proto-2.1
drm  libdrm-2.4.12-8-g4507863
macros  util-macros-1.2.2
xf86-video-intel  2.8.0-20-gaf45482

xserver: 1.6.1.901 (1.6.2 RC 1)
mesa version:
  GL_RENDERER   = Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset 
     GEM 20090114 x86/MMX/SSE2
  GL_VERSION    = 2.1 Mesa 7.6-devel
  GL_VENDOR     = Tungsten Graphics, Inc

Comment 14 Michael S. Tsirkin 2009-08-04 00:19:14 UTC
sorry, (In reply to comment #13), this comment 13 is wrong.
I tested with KMS, which never had the crash, rather than UMS.

Comment 15 Michael S. Tsirkin 2009-08-04 00:27:36 UTC
verified with UMS, versions in comment 13 prevent
server from crashing with 2.6.31-rcX.

Is the mesa in comment 13 the same as the one in the original report?

Yes. In other words, intel driver from fedora crashes
on 2.6.31-rcX, but new one built from source does not.

If I also update mesa I can't activate desktop effects at all,
but that's a separate issue.
Comment 18 Chris Wilson 2010-05-31 15:15:35 UTC
If rebuilding the driver from source was all that was required to prevent the crash, then unless the fedora package was carrying a patch that we wanted tested, I have to conclude that the bug was fixed. And hopefully the mesa issue was also resolved, KDE effects were working last time I checked...
