Nothing to do.
Mine is upgraded as well, lesson learned, wait and then try it later.
Okay. So I have now installed 2.99.910, which I found in the snapshot repo for 13.2M0. I had to tell Yast to break dependencies to accept that, so I’m not sure whether that’s a good idea. I then locked that package, so that it won’t automatically update. But I’m not sure that’s a good idea either, as it might interfere with future updates to factory.
For the moment, everything (including Gnome) appears to be working. But I am probably better off to put up with Gnome not working.
Probably a conflict in X11_ABI_VIDEODRV then, which xorg-x11-server provides in a specific version and all video drivers require it in the explicit version of the xorg-x11-server they got built against.
So maybe you are not even using the intel driver now? (an ABI version mismatch would prevent the driver to be loaded)
There are other intel driver versions available for Factory on OBS (f.e. a 2.99.912.5), but I have no idea whether one of those would work (and which one).
This morening, I reinstalled xf86-video-intel-2.99.912. And then, in the directory “/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers”, I renamed “intel_drv.so” to “intel_drv.so.dontuse”. That allows Gnome to run.
So I’ll probably stay with that version for the moment, doing a temporary rename when I want to test something in Gnome.
Apparently the 3.0.0git version from OBS should have the issue fixed
Hopefully, that will show up in factory well before the release of 13.2.
