Description

My setup: -Qt 4.8.4
-Xorg server 1.12.3 using the i915 driver
- mesa 8.0.4
Actually reading the backtrace and seeing that the crash happens in /usr/lib/libEGL.so.1 it is probably not related to my kwin crash and the issue is probably driver related.
if there is no specific reason why you use kwin_gles I would recommend to run the "normal" KWin. Also I would recomment to update Mesa. The crash is in the driver, induced by some kwin opengl/egl call. The freeze (including the pointer stall) points some i/o issue from the (xf86-intel or the kernel module) pot. accessing some on-disk cache and thus causing invalid data access in mesa. I think there was a mentione about such i/o error on the Xorg mailing list resp. a release note, but would have to look that up. In that case you'd observe such stalls more regular (once a day or week, depending on how excessively you use the machine) but not necessarily a crash. Anyway, eglCreateImageKHR may yell an "wrong parameter, stupid programmer!" error, but not crash - thus it's a driver bug |
