I have recently started to get problems with X simply shutting itself down and returning to the login screen. In the X logs I find:
> [ 1492.936] > Fatal server error: > [ 1492.936] WaitForSomething(): select: Invalid argument No messages whatsoever is found in the kernel logs. This error happens randomly without any correlation to user input, but with a high likelihood (within a few minutes at most) when a video is playing. It doesn't matter if the video is in Flash in a browser window or in a video player playing a local file. With that somewhat easy test I bisected it down to 4e8b14526 "time: Improve sanity checking of timekeeping inputs". The latest Linus git (155e36d40) with a revert of the bisected commit does not show the problem. Video is Radeon HD 6950 with open source drivers. Xorg version is the one currently in Debian unstable (xserver-xorg-core: 2:1.12.3.902-1, xserver-xorg-video-radeon: 1:6.14.4-5, libdrm: 2.4.33-3). -- Andreas Bombe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
