Xorg hangs after upgrade to FreeBSD 11

J

jcd

Hello everyone.

I have an Optiplex 755 which worked like a charm under FreeBSD 10.2/i386 for over a year. Yesterday I decided to upgrade to FreeBSD 11.

Things went smooth during the upgrade process (I did not perform a fresh install), and now Xorg is completely freezing the system. Here what I have tried so far:

Removed the /usr/local/etc/X11free/xorg.conf that I tuned for FreeBSD 10.2, in order to test if the Xorg automatic configuration process works on this system. It does not.

Removed
Code: 
kern.vty=vt
from /boot/loader.conf, just in case it was causing conflict. Now that vt(4) is the default system console driver under FreeBSD 11, having this line no longer makes any difference, correct me if I am wrong.

Since /var/log/Xorg.0.log was not being generated, I added
Code: 
Option "Log" "sync"
to my existing /usr/local/etc/X11free/xorg.conf (as suggested by bkouhi in Thread 39422), and now the log file is there. The last 2 lines from the log are as follows:

Code: 
[    52.284] (--) Using syscons driver with X support (version 2.0)
[    52.285] (--) using VT number 9
Apparently either configuration file/method yields the same results, so I am posting the log that results from using my old file:

I appreciate your time and support.

Did you also reinstall all installed ports/packages?
 
I did execute pkg upgrade -f to take care of some 800+ packages, and recall pkg stopping when few packages were left with no warning whatsoever. Decided to end the process and re-run it. Although I was expecting pkg to reinstall only the remaining packages, it went through the exact same number of packages again.

So, is it possible that some package(s) did not get upgraded causing Xorg to freeze?
I have a project due next week, starting to get nervous and wondering whether a clean install would be a safer bet at this point.
What are the chances that removing and reinstalling all packages could fix the problem?

Thanks SirDice.
 
Hello again, after removing all packages I did
Code: 
pkg autoremove
pkg clean
pkg remove -f pkg
pkg install xorg
started Xorg using startx, and the computer hangs, same log...

Any ideas?

Hi jcd
Do you have access to virtual consoles when X hangs? ctrl+alt+f1..f2
and what happen when you type xinit instead of startx?
 
Juan,

No access to virtual consoles or anything at all for that matter. I literally mean to say that the computer hangs (to power off I need to push the power button for a few seconds).

I tried startx and startxfce4 and do not believe xinit would have made any difference (please explain your reasoning). In any case, now it is too late, because...

I downgraded to FreeBSD 10.3 and got the same result (computer hang). Curious to test if there was something already broken with the system (some file perhaps), I downgraded again to FreeBSD 10.2 and voilà, XOrg works again!

In case anyone wonders about the downgrade procedure:

Code: 
freebsd-update upgrade -r 10.3-RELEASE
freebsd-update install
reboot now
freebsd-update install
pkg remove xorg
pkg autoremove
pkg remove -f pkg
portsnap fetch
portsnap extract
portsnap update
cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
make clean install
pkg install xorg
Same thing for FreeBSD 10.2 (except for adding ALLOW_UNSPPORTED_SYSTEM to /etc/make.conf, which is now required to build pkg).

Which makes me think that even a fresh install of FreeBSD 11 on this system will present the same issue. I find myself lost on how to debug/correct this one, your support is greatly needed and appreciated.
 
Try to create a new user and run startx/startxfce with that user. Eventually may be some old configuration file on your $HOME the problem.

there is a few changes in startx and xinit, startx take arguments to start X
see /usr/local/bin/startx ,
..but few..
the same thing happend to me once,the problem whas the driver(not intel like yours,nvidia)
you could try:

-1 X -configure to discard problems with your window manager
-2 use a xorg.conf file with vesa driver instead of intel

edit: xinit take arguments from .xinitrc and if there .xserverrc present
