Hi Freq, as noted, I'd guess I've got problems with Xorg, which cause Firefox to crash. Probably some of the improvements in Quantum are just depending on a more stable Xorg, e.g. correctly initialised modules. For a first review, I add the output of lspci and lsmod - please tell me, what else You may need, as I don't have a deep knowledge, sorry. But I still want to learn ;-) Kind regards Peter $ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor DRAM Controller (rev 06) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor PCI Express x16 Controller (rev 06) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) 00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio Controller (rev 06) 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI (rev 05) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB EHCI #2 (rev 05) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #1 (rev d5) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #2 (rev d5) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #3 (rev d5) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #4 (rev d5) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB EHCI #1 (rev 05) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation HM87 Express LPC Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller 1 [AHCI mode] (rev 05) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 05) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104M [GeForce GTX 860M] (rev a1) 03:00.0 PCI bridge: Texas Instruments XIO2213A/B/XIO2221 PCI Express to PCI Bridge [Cheetah Express] (rev 01) 04:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments XIO2213A/B/XIO2221 IEEE-1394b OHCI Controller [Cheetah Express] (rev 01) 05:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Hi Peter,

Quantum has been performing well for me along with X with Intel graphics. Can you provide for us your drivers and hardware information please?

Thanks, -freq

Hello,

since some time I've got problems with Xorg, it seems, sometimes the sessionmanager isn't initialised correctly: The application bar (menues, workspaces etc.) isn't shown, I have to shutdown Xorg right-clicking on the desktop for the menu and restart it.

This isn't such a big problem, so I didn't ask for that before.

Since Firefox changed to Quantum, I've got another problem with browser windows, which might be related: Browser windows don't open correctly, content often isn't shown. This _is_ a problem for me, as I don't want to look for everything again.

Did anybody else have the same problems? How can I solve these?

Kind regards Peter

Hi Bjoern, my config file already looks like this: Section "Device"    Identifier  "Intel Graphics"    Driver      "intel"    Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa" #   Option      "AccelMethod"  "none" EndSection "uxa" is already the alternative setting, so I'd expect it to work. However, I can try to set it to any other value tomorrow morning (as I've finally got my Laptop up and working in the meantime, at least for today ;-) ).
