Yet another segfault in the buggy intel driver. It's unmaintained for
aeons. Tried to upstream lots of patches some time ago, nobody actually
cared.
Unless you've got really specific reaons to use this one, better use
generic modesetting. For most cases, the intel driver is obsolete.
Nevertheless, feel free to file a bug report @Xlibre, maybe somebody
of us has the time to look into it:
https://github.com/X11Libre/xf86-video-intel/issues
For the time being, just use the generic modesetting driver.
Thanks Enrico,
I am not familiar with the modesetting driver. Nevertheless, after doing some
reading,
I understand that it is a generic driver (maybe using a frame buffer?) and
avoiding
specific intel acceleration primitives.
I modified
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
and replaced
Driver "intel"
with
Driver "modesetting"
then logged out/in.
So far it looks mostly OK. Reinstalled evince and it does not crash.
MythTV seems to perform fine.
Watching youtube in a resolution of FHD or UHD (full screen) does show some
artifacts.
I need to learn what settings modesetting accepts (if any) to tune its
performance. I will keep it for the moment.
