It would be useful if you could grab that stack again after rebuilding the ddx with debugging symbols.

you mean with the --enable-debug configure switch?

Not necessarily, but if it dies extremely quickly then it would also help. No, it appears that the installed intel_drv.so is stripped of its debug symbols and so gdb can't resolve the line number or local variables, which are extremely useful in working out what the problem is.

Hi Chris,

you're right. using --enable-debug didn't expose any debug symbols. however you should be able to reproduce the issue very quick when you fire up eclipse for example. X dies as soon as the workbench comes up. ot try to start firefox or claws-mail. any app kills my X instantly after fired up.

Regards
Nic

Now you would think that if nearly any app killed X, I'd have a problem typing this into firefox...

Can you try installing the intel_drv.so by hand to avoid any stripping? Just
./configure --enable-sna && make && sudo make src/.libs/intel_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so should do the trick. (Give or take /usr/lib64.)

Hi Chris,

ok I've compiled xf86-video-intel latest git from scratch using --enable-sna --enable-dri --enable-xvmc and replaced intel_drv.so.

Here is what GDB spits out shortly after firing up firefox and doing a little webbrowsing. Hope this helps.

Gotcha! Fallen afoul of the recent availability of the CPU bo, instead of using priv->gpu_bo, we need to use the bo passed into the function. Thanks.

Great! :) Will test the fix as soon as it hits git and close the ticket if successful.

Thx
