https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=839074 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=839074#c0 Summary: A regression in mesa 9.2 or 9.1, some games and programs no longer start. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 13.1 Milestone 3 Platform: 64bit OS/Version: openSUSE 12.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: novell.com@marekpasnikowski.name QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 When I used the OpenSUSE 12.3 X11:XOrg project repo to get the new drivers, some of my games stopped starting properly. Splice (based on the Unity engine) presents maximised window with black content, no sound. Bastion (C# game) does not even open any window. Super Hexagon freezes the image under the window in its frame. Rosetta Stone (Adobe Air(?) application) through wine crashes halfway through loading procedure. When I disabled the repo and did zypper dup to revert the changes, all those programs run properly again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Fetch the new drivers from the Factory or X11:XOrg repo. 2. Run the affected program. Actual Results: Some games/programs do not start properly. I can do all the testing and debugging. Just tell me which tools to run and how to use them. I will forward all the data needed to find the regression. I give it the major severity as it affects select few programs. However the affected software is totally unusable. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

After some experimentation I found out that all mentioned games are running fine when R600 LLVM backend is switched off. That means setting envvar R600_LLVM to 0 may be a suitable hotfix. There is upstream bug for this https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60929
Confirmed - Right now I have R600_LLVM=0 in /etc/environment with the updated mesa and the programs/games run as supposed. (In reply to comment #7)
Please try whether Mesa packages from home:jobermayr:branches:X11:XOrg can fix it. I assume it is https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64810#c15
Because OBS publisher currently doesn't work for home: projects you can try:
$ osc getbinaries -d $DIR home:jobermayr:branches:X11:XOrg Mesa openSUSE_Factory x86_64 $ zypper -p $DIR up
I'll check this out later. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please try whether Mesa packages from home:jobermayr:branches:X11:XOrg can fix it. I tried your build and it did not fix the issue for me.
I assume it is https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64810#c15 I think this is different problem. Mono and LLVM problem seems to be with LLVM masking signals which Mono use for garbage collector.
