Solved How to debug freezing Xorg?

After the update from 12.1-RELEASE i386 to 12.2-RELEASE i386 i have the problem that my X session freezes after some time and i have to push the reset button to power off the computer because neither the mouse nor the keyboard works anymore.

Kernel is GENERIC:
FreeBSD xxx.xxx 12.2-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE-p3 GENERIC i386

I use Intel firmware
Code:
cpu_microcode_load="YES"
cpu_microcode_name="/boot/firmware/intel-ucode.bin"
Graphics driver is i915kms
kld_list="/boot/modules/i915kms.ko"

I have this in sysctl.conf
kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=12

Xorg driver is modesetting, no config files present.

As a window manager, I use OpenBox started via
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session openbox-session

I use latest packages rather than quarterly.
I reinstalled all the packages after the update via
pkg upgrade -f

The Xorg.0.log doesn't show suspicious entries after restarting.

It worked flawlessly on 12.1-RELEASE, the problems started with 12.2.

Where to start debugging?
 
See this thread.

Looks like you need to manually build the i915 module from ports, because on 12.2 for some strange reason, the prebuilt drivers do not work.
 
Thank you for your answer.

I've seen this thread but i am not sure if it's the same problem i have. The drivers do work, i can boot up and startx without problems. The freezing occurs after 5 - 7 hours uptime. I don't know if building from source would help in that case.

And since i updated only 3 days ago i believe that the driver package has been built against 12.2 sources anyway.
 
Update:

I found some suspicious lines in /var/log/messages which i believe are relevant:
Code:
Feb 22 05:20:08 xxx kernel: [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 4:0:0x828ffffb, in MainThread [100168], reason: Hang on rcs0, action: reset
Feb 22 05:20:08 xxx kernel: drmn0: Resetting chip after gpu hang
Feb 22 05:20:17 xxx syslogd: last message repeated 1 times
Feb 22 05:20:22 xxx kernel: drmn0: i915_reset_device timed out, cancelling all in-flight rendering.
Feb 22 05:20:54 xxx kernel: .
Feb 22 05:20:54 xxx syslogd: last message repeated 1 times
Feb 22 05:20:54 xxx syslogd: exiting on signal 15

So it's indeed a i915 driver issue.
 
As these drivers are 'built for linux drivers', have a look for some information in the linux world. Someone else must have experienced the lock-up (law of averages?)

It might help.
 
Seems like this is a well known bug in Mesa:


Regarding this thread i should use the 'intel' driver rather than 'modesetting' and use the UXA acceleration scheme.

I'll try this and report back if it helps
Code:
Section "Device"
    Identifier "Intel Graphics"
    Driver     "intel"
    Option     "AccelMethod" "UXA"
EndSection
 
Looks like you need to manually build the i915 module from ports, because on 12.2 for some strange reason, the prebuilt drivers do not work.
This is not an issue anymore. Packages are being built for 12.2 now.
 
Using the intel driver with the UXA AccelMethod didn't help, i got the same freezes.

I solved some i915 hanging X problem with this in the "intel" driver:
Option "DRI" "1"
According to https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/man/man4/intel.4.xhtml the "DRI" option is a boolean value which is enabled by default. I'll try this but i don't think it'll help unless i miss something.

Edit: I indeed missed that man intel tells a different story. Option "DRI" is a string value with which the maximum level of DRI to enable can be specified.
Code:
       Option "DRI" "string"
              Disable or enable DRI support. A driver name to use can be
              provided instead of simple boolean value, which will be passed
              to the GL implementation for it to load the appropriate backend.
              Alternatively the maximum level of DRI to enable (e.g. "1", "2"
              or "3") can be specified.

              Default: All levels of DRI are enabled for configurations where
              it is supported

Thanks, didn't know that there are differences in the X.Org options. I'll try this.
 
I solved it by using the modesetting driver rather than intel.

I'm embarrassed to say that i only thought that i was using modesetting because i had no "Driver" option in the config files. But Xorg decided to use the intel driver nevertheless.

After i deinstalled the xf86-video-intel package, i get no more freezes.

Xorg will autodetect the driver, there's rarely a need for a configuration file at all. Can you post your Xorg.0.log? I suspect you're now using the scfb(4) driver, which is a fallback if it can't find a good driver (because you removed the Intel driver).

I solved it by using the modesetting driver rather than intel.

I'm embarrassed to say that i only thought that i was using modesetting because i had no "Driver" option in the config files. But Xorg decided to use the intel driver nevertheless.

After i deinstalled the xf86-video-intel package, i get no more freezes.

Sorry for reviving this.
I am asking myself what caused the hangs, and if I interpret correctly the following might have been happened, causing the issue:

-installing xf86-video-intel (sounds perfectly reasonable to do if one isn't aware of i915kms present by default)
-xorg then seeing an "intel" driver, and "preferring" this in error over i915kms,
-you finally found that when explicitly setting kms ("modesetting"), making kms choose a matching modesetting driver (i915kms.ko in this case)
-and after removing xf86-video-intel package, it now works fine (either without xorg, or with xorg defining Driver="intel", correctly "forwarding" to i915kms?

Reason why I ask is just curiosity: could "modesetting" be used so that the xorg/kernel automatically choose the correct kms driver, e.g. without having to specify a vendor-specific driver, be it "intel", "amdgpu" or whatever?
 
This is all very confusing with Intel.
There are three legacy drivers, xf86-video-i120, -i740 and -intel.
At least the freshports information says the -intel driver is for legacy cards.

Figuring out which driver supports which GPU was super-easy with Nvidia, difficult with ATI/AMD, and regarding Intel, I still feel clueless after hours of researching.
Looking at the DRI2 hardware detection PCI ID list, I can easily imagine that even the Mesa guys have problems here...
And since 'modesetting' is recommended, i believe it's not worth thinking about either.

Edit: I found an interresting article about X.Org server 1.21 (not in FreeBSD yet): X.Org's Modesetting Driver Gets Smarter - Queries Mesa For Which GL Driver To Use
Hmm, "modesetting" the recommended setting? Didn't know that, but I like it :)

And the link to the article is a very good source where to research further 👍 Thank you very much!!
