I’m on Ivy Bridge, with graphics Intel HD4000 (gen 7).
inxi -G --verbosity=3 | grep Gen | tail -1
driver: i915 v: kernel arch: Gen-7 bus-ID: 00:02.0
I’ve encountered this issue:
In facts, when I executed glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer" I got
glx: failed to create dri3 screen
OpenGL renderer string: llvmpipe (LLVM 21.1.6, 256 bits)
Wrong! I usually got , instead:
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 (IVB GT2)
I temporary fixed this issue by switching to mesa-amber.
Or at least, I hope to have it fixed.
**EDIT (two days after)
**
I can confirm: replace lib32-mesa and mesa with lib32-mesa-amber and mesa-amber, at least for me, has solved the issue: Firefox no longer crash, continuously and incessantly: has become stable as before.
