I reproduced the segfault on my other (identical) laptop and got: [ 10865.673] 3: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so (0x7f5cf32f5000+0x39ba5) [0x7f5cf332eba5] [ 10865.673] 4: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so (0x7f5cf32f5000+0x47015) [0x7f5cf333c015] [ 10865.673] 5: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so (0x7f5cf32f5000+0x4bc29) [0x7f5cf3340c29] [ 10865.673] 6: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so (0x7f5cf32f5000+0x57708) [0x7f5cf334c708] so I changed the command: # addr2line -e /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so 0x39ba5 0x47015 0x4bc29 0x57708 ??:0 ??:0 ??:0 ??:0 # > To solve what happened to prevent the modeswitch we need to have the > dmesg, preferrably with drm.debug=6 (echo 6 > > /sys/modules/drm/parameters/debug).
