Latest X updates breaks vmware

After the latest round of X library updates Xorg crashes on startup:

I recompiled open-vm-tools against the new libraries, but still no luck. Does something else need to be recompiled as well?

[Juanito]

Hmm.

Do things work directly on your hardware?

Can you revert only Xorg-7.7-3d to the previous version and try that?

[curaga]

What was the assert? Your log shows vmwgfx_dri.so fired one, but nowhere is it shown what it was. Perhaps it went to stderr.

[andyj]

The mesa_test updates seem to work. I tested glxgears in mesa-demos and google-earth-pro flight simulator and both work as expected. Anything else I could / should try? No, I don't have TC installed on actual hardware, my host is running Slackware.

Here's what the offending section of the log looks like when it works:

It looks like AIGLX is where it was having a problem. This sounds familiar.

[Juanito]

I'd recompiled with -DNDEBUG, without -fno-exceptions and without "rm -f src/gallium/drivers/swr/rasterizer/jitter/gen_*" (required for a previous version of mesa) - it seems one or more of those fixed things.

[andyj]

I'd guess the last one, but it's not unheard of for debug/nodebug to break or fix things. Also, if we're going to the trouble of recompiling X could we build it against openssl-1.1.1 instead of the version that is EOL in less than two months?

[Juanito]

Xorg-7.7-3d recompiled and posted to tc-10.x x86 and x86_64 repos.

There's a plan to recompile xorg-server against openssl-1.1.1 - it was waiting on the next version of tc and/or next version of xorg-server
