Hi, got a problem with mesa 21.2.4-1. My X-Server crashed immeidatly at startup with a segfault. Downgraded mesa (and libva-mesa-driver, lib32-mesa, lib32-libva-mesa-driver) to 21.2.3-1
and it worked again.
I’m on a Vmware VM with an i5-7500 CPU. Disabling/Enabling 3D-Acceleration for the VM didn’t change anything.

can you check on 21.2.3 via hwinfo --gfx which mesa driver is used. From a first glance on the release notes I don’t see any changes in that regard, but can be wrong …

Yeah, no problem
