This is Intel's 2008 Q3 release.
Comment 4 Michael Fu 2009-01-23 18:36:09 UTC
several questions:

1) Is this a regression, i.e. did it once work for you?
2) how about the status of latest Q4 release?
3) What if you get rid of the xorg.conf and let X decide itself?

thanks.

1. Yes, this is regression. In previous version of distribution that i use (opensuse 10.3, 11.0) it worked fine.
2. with the Q4 release my xserver don't start. it is aborted it signal 11.
3. When i try to run Xorg -configure, Xorg also died by signal 11. I have attached output.

you need to get rid of the via driver that's crashing X.

Sorry, I don't understand what I need to do.

Sounds like a possible dup of 18358

in 18358 2D driver is used, but i use 3D
Comment 11 Jesse Barnes 2009-01-28 13:56:01 UTC
No you're using the 2D driver also (in order for things to work you need kernel, 2D and 3D drivers all working together).  Marking as DUP until we find out otherwise.
