I've been playing with 002-xorg module these days because I was having serious text artifact when using an Intel HD KabyLake GPU, as you can see here:
After finally succeeded updating Xorg server to 1.19.1v, Mesa to 17.0v and xf86plugins (all got from
Slackware official FTP), I've managed to get rid of all artifacts. So if anyone is passing through any similar problem or is just curious about the updates, here is a link for the updated 002-xorg xzm module:

(90mb)
Considering this, maybe it's time for Porteus to update these libs (together with NetworkManager and FFMpeg) on the next version. What you think?

ztealmax, can you try booting on Always Fresh mode? I tested this 002-xorg module with a desktop and a laptop and it worked flawlessly.

Confirm. I tried Xorg 1.19 + Mesa 17 + xf86plu in Always Fresh mode, but keyboard and mouse not functional.

It's weird. I had this bug once but I though I managed to solve it. Maybe I've uploaded the buged version
I'll check!

OK, I confirmed the bug with official XFCE module, so now I see how to solve this issue. You need to update libxcb to 1.12 and all xcb modules inside your 003 module:
Code: Select all
xcb-proto-1.12-x86_64-1.txz
xcb-util-0.4.0-x86_64-2.txz
xcb-util-cursor-0.1.3-x86_64-1.txz
xcb-util-errors-1.0-x86_64-1.txz
xcb-util-image-0.4.0-x86_64-2.txz
xcb-util-keysyms-0.4.0-x86_64-2.txz
xcb-util-renderutil-0.3.9-x86_64-2.txz
xcb-util-wm-0.4.1-x86_64-2.txz

ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/s ... kware64/x/
In the meantime you can test it with this build of LXQt and see if it works for you, as for me it works on two different machines:

We should look for Mesa 17.1. Look how it evolved, most of the time being faster than AMD official drivers!

Porteus-3.2.2 is based on slackware-14.2. We follow the package versions in this version because they have been tested and known to be stable. Here is what mesa's own website has to say.
Mesa 17.0.0 is a new development release. People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait for Mesa 17.0.1.
Please note that at home I am running mesa v17 and Xorg-server-1.19.1 as testing.

ztealmax, I'll take a look at your LXDE module and see what I can do.
brokenman, I see and agree with you. So let's wait until Slackware moves to the new version. No problem
BTW, how is your tests with new Mesa/Xorg going?
