RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Tomasz Tomasik 2020-07-08 00:37:41 UTC 
Description of problem:
Even the simplest SDL2 applications are not able to work with the iris DRI driver, if DRI2 and the intel DDX driver is in use instead of modesetting.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
EL up to version 8
Fedora up to version 33 (Rawhide)
Basically, everything up to xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-45.20200205.fc33 is affected.
https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk/-/issues/1071#note_374809227

Steps to reproduce:
1. Configure X.Org to use DRI2 and the intel DDX driver.
2. Reboot system.
3. Log-in in any desktop environment that uses X.Org (GNOME on X.Org, GNOME Classic, MATE, etc.).
4. Run Widelands from Flathub. When it comes to Fedora, you can use the native package instead. For EL, please use the flatpak package.

X.Org configuration:
```
# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf 
Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Intel"
        #Driver     "modesetting"
        Driver      "intel"
        ###
        Option      "TearFree"              "True"
        #Option     "DRI"                   "3"
        Option      "DRI"                   "2"
EndSection
```

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/scx/widelands

Expected results:
Run the application.

Actual results:
Crash the application.

The reason of using DRI2 and the intel DDX driver instead of modesetting:
https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/3673#issuecomment-650287489

In my opinion, it is the iris driver breaking ABI, but it seems that Intel is not interested into fixing it in Mesa. Instead, they provided fix in xf86-video-intel.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/-/commit/f2a54e256dd7539633c476a379db2b1e60eec811

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/3188

Currently, almost all Linux distributions are affected, including Fedora Rawhide and openSUSE Tumbleweed. When it comes to major Linux distributions, only Arch or Gentoo are not affected, because they tend to use the latest commit.
Although CentOS 7 doesn't provide the iris driver, it is affected as well, because Freedesktop 19.08 uses Mesa 20.x, in which iris is the default driver. This means that all current flatpak packages from Flathub are affected.

The solution is to patch xf86-video-intel in all current Linux distributions.
I've created the xorg-x11-drv-intel repo for EL 6-8 and Fedora 30-33:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/scx/xorg-x11-drv-intel/

I've already tested it in RHEL 7 and Fedora 32. I can confirm it works.

In mesa i915/i965 pass the bpp to use when creating the surface, but the gallium state tracker passed the depth. As it happens that BitsPerPixel(format) will do the right thing for both, use that.
