intel graphics crash
Evening, everyone. Whenever I try to start my X server (I'm using "startx"), 90% of the time my desktop shows up for about a second, and then my machine powers off (instantly, as if you'd cut power to it). I can use it all day long in the tty/console without issues, but as soon as I start X, or wayland, it dies. I have a thinkpad x61 (so a little older) with intel graphics.

Just something to try.
I have a laptop with an older Intel chipset that uses the i915 driver. When I do startx, the intel driver is loaded. The intel driver used to use the UXA acceleration method by default, but now defaults to the SNA method. I find I do better using the UXA method. I have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Code:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Laptop Internal Display"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "External Display"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
# Revert from SNA default to previous UXA
Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"
Option "monitor-LVDS1" "Laptop Internal Display"
Option "monitor-VGA1" "External Display"
EndSection

I gave this a shot, but it didn't change anything. The default xorg.conf loads the "modesetting" xorg driver, so I've used both the "intel" and "modesetting" xorg drivers with identical results. Also, wayland has the same issue, so I don't believe it's the xorg driver.
When I boot with "nomodeset i915.modeset=0" xorg starts just fine, but it uses the "vesa" xorg driver, according to my Xorg.0.log.
I installed windows on a separate hard drive, and that works just fine on this machine, so I don't believe it's the hardware. Any tips for troubleshooting the kernel intel graphics driver? Or is this the wrong forum for that?

It's a long shot, but did the log files (particularly Xorg.0.log) provide any hints as to what might be happening?

Not a peep. To be extra sure nothing got overwritten, as soon as my system crashed, I booted to a live cd and checked the logs from there. Nothing that seemed pertinent in the last two seconds (time it took from entering "startx" to cutting power/hard crashing). Xorg.0.log, dmesg, syslog, and everything else in /var/log/ that had been modified today all show no signs. I'll see about posting them here anyways.

I have the same laptop. No problems with fresh install. Maybe you have some settings somewhere?
a. Try with fresh user?
b. Try with fresh /etc?
This is my Xorg.0.log

Interesting...
Yeah, my Xorg.0.log looked pretty much identical to yours. Same kernel version, same kernel options (essentially), and same xorg driver (modesetting).
What's stranger is I never really installed anything weird to this - it's basically stock slackware. All my packages are in the default slackware64-15 repo, and I don't really use this machine all that often anyways. If I have time in the near future, I'll try a fresh install anyways.
For right now, I installed the -current kernel (6.6.21), and it's working just fine. If that works in the long run, I guess I'll be happy with it, despite not knowing what the issue was (lol).
As I can't get it to crash at the moment, I can't post my Xorg.0.log. If it does, I'll post it.

Hmm... I don't use the stock Slackware-15.0 kernel but my custom latest kernel from 5.15 series. I booted with generic only for you to examine if there is a problem. I don't tested generic long term. I don't have huge kernel installed to test.
Here is my config to compile your own kernel.
Although the config states T61 I run-it / test-it for several days on X61. They have similar, or maybe identical hardware.

Ok, so the Xorg.0.log you posted was with your custom kernel, or with the generic kernel?

Custom kernel, as you can see from the first lines.
See *stars*
Code:
[ 66.162] Current Operating System: Linux ludist *5.15.150t61* #3 SMP Thu Mar 7 16:22:47 EET 2024 x86_64
[ 66.162] Kernel command line: *BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-ludist* root=/dev/sda2 ro append resume=/dev/sda4
I imagine the other lines are the same with other kernels.
