Hi Hauke, I bumped into an email in one of the netbsd lists of which I concluded that generating an xorg.conf and adding the option AccelMethod in the device section like this, solves the i915 drmkms issue:
Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" So I gave it a try and it seems to be true :) That option is also mentioned in "man intel" but if I understand it correctly it is somewhat slower than the default "sna". But considering that this box is a bit more than ten years old with an integrated i915 (i950gma), 3gb ram and a pentium cpu, I don't care if it does not crash. Thanks for your help though! :) Best regards, r0ller -------- Eredeti levél -------- Feladó: Hauke Fath < [email protected] (Link -> mailto:[email protected]) > Dátum: 2020 június 23 15:10:11 Tárgy: Re: netbsd 9 upgrade experience Címzett: r0ller < [email protected] (Link -> mailto:[email protected]) > On Sat, 20 Jun 2020 20:19:08 +0000 (GMT), r0ller wrote: > 3) xorg still crashes when it gets a little stress as it did in 8.1 > with i915drmkms enabled tough I hoped that upgrading to 9 will solve > it. See xdm.log and Xorg.0.log attached. You might be better off with wip/xf86-video-intel-git - it fixed similar problems for me on a HP EliteBook. But I don't know if you can run a pkgsrc X server alongside base X11, or if you need to build all things X from pkgsrc.
