It's not a glibc issue - glibc is actually telling you there's an error
somewhere in the trinity code.
OK,
That's good info, but why then does Fluxbox exhibit the same pixelation
desktop crash when an xterm is launched?
I can start fluxbox and I can look at the menus (change config settings in
the menu), but as soon as I launch an app, the desktop does the same
checkerboard wrap.
I have no doubt that there are bugs in the Trinity code, but regardless, it
shouldn't effect fluxbox.
When running flux, I didn't get a backtrace dumped to the console running
startx, but I had to click in the blind to shut it down after the screen went nuts.
Hopefully this isn't one of those 'coincidences' where there are 2 bugs. (1
in Trinity and another in X effecting both Trinity and Fluxbox)
What has me wondering is -- this is a brand new Arch install with nothing but
base, base-devel, xorg and fluxbox on it (plus the Trinity I built).
No new hardware (same laptop I run Arch on all the time). I'll try
downgrading xorg and trying again and let you know how that goes. Let me know if
you have any other thoughts. Thanks.
