Description yousifjkadom 2018-07-12 05:45:39 UTC
Hi. 

I'm on Fedora Linux 28 x64 Cinnamon edition. 

All my Linux games were working O.K when I was on kernel version before 4.17.x. After I upgrade to kernel 4.17.x many of may games start to failed on launching them in various ways ......

Examples:

1) TORCS is fail to launch neither by "torcs" nor by "env DRI_PRIME=1 torcs" commands (1st command to run game under my built-in Intel graphic card, while 2nd for run game under my dedicated Radeon AMD card. In both conditions I received following message in terminal:

        $ torcs
        Visual Properties Report
        ------------------------
        Compatibility mode, properties unknown.
        X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
          Major opcode of failed request:  151 (XFree86-VidModeExtension)
          Minor opcode of failed request:  10 (XF86VidModeSwitchToMode)
          Value in failed request:  0x177
          Serial number of failed request:  59
          Current serial number in output stream:  68


2) NoGravity, Kobo Deluxe, Shipy 1984 & Trackballs: when I try to launch it whether using Intel HD graphic buit-in card or AMD Radeon card, only black screen appear to me from which I can not escape unless by go to tty terminal to reboot my system !

3) Glaxium: here strange thing ! The default command for game that used by default after installation is:


        glaxium-wrapper -f

        this command now lead game to crash & never launched ! I try:

        env DRI_PRIME=1 glaxium-wrapper -f

but same error ! In both cases I received in terminal the following message:

        $ glaxium-wrapper -f
        X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
          Major opcode of failed request:  151 (XFree86-VidModeExtension)
          Minor opcode of failed request:  10 (XF86VidModeSwitchToMode)
          Value in failed request:  0x177
          Serial number of failed request:  131
          Current serial number in output stream:  133


        $ env DRI_PRIME=1 glaxium-wrapper -f
        X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
          Major opcode of failed request:  151 (XFree86-VidModeExtension)
          Minor opcode of failed request:  10 (XF86VidModeSwitchToMode)
          Value in failed request:  0x177
          Serial number of failed request:  131
          Current serial number in output stream:  133

However, the game launched very O.K by the following 2 commands:

$ glaxium

&

$ env DRI_PRIME=1 glaxium

--------------------------
My system details are: Fedora 28 X64 bit Cinnamon edition on Lenovo ThinkPad e550 with Intel core i7 5500 CPU @ 2.40 GH X 2, RAM = 8 GB, HHD = 1 TB, Hybrid VGA (Intel Corporation HD Graphic 5500 + Radeon R7 M265 2GB)
--------------------------

I already opened a bug on Redhat bugzilla - see bellow link:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1597191

Please notice that at opening of this bug at Redhat bugzilla, I was not know defect in kernel. I updated that bug. And as you see not I'm the only victim. There are other also. But it seem that this problem is hardware specific, because not all people suffer from it. Please see my thread at Fedora community forum at:
https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?318651-Games-failure-after-updating&p=1810294#post1810294

In Redhat bugzilla, no one from developers replay us till now ! It seem that the problem is upstream related ! For that I open this bug here.

Please your kind care & fix !
