 |
|
Hello, this is the graphics controller I have
| Code: |
$ lspci | grep -i VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation WhiskeyLake-U GT2 [UHD Graphics 620] (rev 02)
|
My xorg crashes when all these conditions are met:
- i915 is in VIDEO_CARDS and xorg-drivers are compiled with its support
- I'm running dwm with systray patch https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/systray/
- There's at least one program displaying its icon in the tray (telegram, qbittorrent, element, etc.)
- Picom is running
- I'm turning off the screen (or both if i'm using a second monitor):
| Code: | | xrandr --output eDP1 --off |
This is ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log: https://paste.opensuse.org/19773213
It probably crashes due to this error:
| Code: | | [ 3660.436] (EE) intel(0): Failed to set backlight intel_backlight for output eDP1, disabling |
Earlier in the log there's an error saying its unable to load some lib:
| Code: | [ 3646.734] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib64/dri/i965_dri.so failed (/usr/lib64/dri/i965_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
[ 3646.734] (EE) AIGLX error: unable to load driver i965 |
When I dont have i915 in VIDEO_CARDS, I can turn the screen on/off without crashing with picom. This is the xorg log https://paste.opensuse.org/17385748. It has more errors related to loading libs, but xorg does not crash. Also xorg doesnt start when I have
| Code: | Driver "intel"
Option "TearFree" "true" |
in my config and no i915 support.
So my question is do I need i915 for my graphics controller? Is it a problem with i915 driver? I want to have it because it allows me to use TearFree. For the moment I chose to work without picom, but it would be good to have it working.

Correct value is "intel" not i915, see intel wiki page (UHD Graphics 620 is a gen9).

Yeah, I had both.
I was able to fix screen tearing with setting
in picom config, so I indeed dont need i915 driver and can instead use intel only.
Thanks |
