Created attachment 123934 [details] Xorg.0.log I have sabayon linux (gentoo derived) running kernel 4.4.0. The latest package for openchrome is 0.3.3. but I manually installed 0.4.0. With no xorg.conf file I get the attached Xorg.0.log
Hi Kevin, I think the problem is with the specific Linux distribution you are using, and OpenChrome's fault. The newest Linux kernel I have personally seen OpenChrome run fine is Linux kernel 4.2 and possibly X Server 1.17. I think you forgot to resolve an external dependency relating to EXA.
Well, I have a version where I've loaded a bunch of modules in the xorg.conf but that leads to a whole different set of errors. Aren't there some dependencies that the openchrome driver should be loading on its own so it can run without an xorg.conf?

At least for Ubuntu / Lubuntu / Xubuntu since 10.04 edition, there is no requirement to have xorg.conf. That being said, things might work differently with different implementations. For initial testing, I use Lubuntu 12.04 i386, but I do test it with other versions periodically. Generally speaking, OpenChrome should work fine with Linux kernel 2.6.32 or later and X.Org X Server 1.7 or later. The code still has many issues, so the next version will likely not be available for a while.

Hi Kevin, I am kinda lost as to what is going on with your situation. I know you uploaded xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log, but I personally do not see a problem from the log file. It appears that EXA module is loading correctly, although maybe because you are explicitly telling X Server to load it inside xorg.conf. It will be nice if you can explain what is going on. By the way, I have been doing lots of commits since the release of Version 0.4, so unless the purpose is to prove that there was a behavioral regression, you may want to try the latest version in the Git repository. As of June 9th, 2016, the latest version is Version 0.4.170. The latest version fixes a nasty bug that existed since Version 0.3.3 where if you tried to change the screen resolution during runtime, the X Server will crash. For that reason alone, you will like to use the latest version. OpenChrome Version 0.5 will be released within a month after a few bugs / regressions are fixed. After OpenChrome Version 0.5 is released, other than to prove behavioral regression, you should not be using the older versions (i.e., 0.3.3 and 0.4).
I will change the status to RESOLVED - NOTABUG. Feel free to change the status if you feel like you want to revisit the bug.
