[Xorg Segmentation Fault for Kernels 4.x]

Solution:

 

Add this line in /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords

=x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.99.917-r2 ~amd64

 

Then...

emerge x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel

 

Who are affected:

• those using amd64 arch (stable)
  

• using 4.x kernel (observed in gentoo-sources and tuxonice-sources)
  

• using xf86-video-intel-2.99.917 (r2 fixes the issue)

Hey jorgicio,

 

Thanks man! That's the option I haven't tried yet, will try it later. I've also uncovered two most likely related bugs:

I'll post my findings later (if time permits)

[Xorg Segmentation Fault for Kernels 4.x]

I'm out of ideas how to fix the problem, please my logs, I hope somebody can decode what could possibly be the underlying problem.

I'm not sure if I missed any kernel config, tried rebuilding glibc because a line tells me it segfaults there. Rebuilt xf86-video-intel and nvidia-drivers - still no luck. Re-emerge x11-drivers/* that I use, xorg-server, etc... still no luck. 

Tried gentoo-sources too, still no luck. Hope someone can help. 

I am stuck with 3.19 (debian-sources), however, I can't make my hdmi and displayports to work. xrandr -q does not report anything related to HDMI and DPs. 

Thanks in advance.

[HDMI not usable]

Thanks, I only have one HDMI port (it's a laptop). FYI, it also has two display ports - I also cannot use these.

 

So far I've tried upgrading to a different kernel, but with a newer kernel, I get segfaults. Posted this in Gentoo forums:

[HDMI not usable]

Machine: GT 60 2QD

Graphics: Nvidia GTX series with Intel HD video

 

Title says it all... Plugging a monitor to HDMI triggers the display of Display Settings window - i.e., where one can choose how to use the external monitor, however no monitor is detected.

 

 

Command Line:

 

xrandr does not show any HDMI related entries

 

What have I missed?

 

Kind regards
