 |
|
Hello,
Yesterday i updated the system with
| Code: | | sudo emerge -avuDN --with-bdeps=y @world @system |
and got the kernel gentoo-sources-3.16.3, after rebooting the system i was greeted with intel i915 module error.
excerpt from
[drm:init_ring_common] *ERROR* render ring initialization failed ctl 0001f001 (valid? 1) head 0000a004 tail 00000000 start 00193000 [expected 00193000]
[drm:i915_gem_init] *ERROR* Failed to initialize GPU, declaring it wedged
i tried re-installing the driver xf86-video-intel-2.21.15 but nothing useful.
| Code: | | [ebuild R ] x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.21.15 USE="dri sna udev -glamor -uxa -xvmc" 0 kB |
On google search found a link https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=185650 saying that disable openGL and use Xrender, i am already using XRender as compositing type.
any help/suggestions will be helpful.
thanks in advance

Thanks prozprcek for the response.
I think i didn't get your point about updating the package as i am already updated to the highest version,
Anyway i will try patching the kernel and see what happens. |

You don't have to update any packages. This is a bug in i915 and patch was released. You can find patch on link that i posted in comment #80 in attachment, or following link:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=104208
Or you can update kernel to 3.17-rc1 or newer because it is already in there as comment 101 says:
| Quote: | Jiri Kosina's patch that more or less fixes this (at least for now and on my system...) is already in 3.17-rc1. So you could either patch your current version or upgrade.  |
