Cc to debian-devel, because the package in question is also in Lenny. I sure would hope this can get fixed before the release. For me, it makes apps like OpenOffice.org unusable.
I encountered the bug yet again and re-opened the Bug at the X.org Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10525#c36 ------- Comment #36 From ilf 2008-12-15 10:17:45 PST ------- I'm still experiencing this bug, using xorg-server-1.4.2 in Debian Lenny package version 2:1.4.2-9. I compared deb-src and vanilla sources, xorg-server-1.4.2/os/utils.c are identical. And both seem to have included Adam Jacksons patch from http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewvc/devel/xorg-x11-server/xserver-1.3.0-xkb-and-loathing.patch?view=markup The entire section > OsSigHandlerPtr old_alarm = NULL; /* XXX horrible awful hack */ in these sources is also the same in the current repository at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/os/utils.c I attached /proc/<pid>/status both before trying to kill -9 it and after at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=21184 (before) and https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=21185 (after). $ top sais PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 13814 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 95.2 0.0 70:25.70 Xorg Any idea? ------- Comment #37 From ilf 2008-12-15 10:42:53 PST ------- Also, this doesn't only happen with OpenOffice.org. I had it happen with rdesktop connected to a Windows XP machine, too. And only once I used OpenOffice.org on that Windows when this happened (didn't try again after). Just now I ran Opera or some other program I don't exactly remember (the Opera remained on the screen) when X locked up. -- ilf i...@jabber.berlin.ccc.de ueber 70 millionen deutsche benutzen keine konsole. klick dich nicht weg! -- eine initiative des bundesamtes fuer tastaturbenutzung
