Bug#439276: idesk: X11/Xorg testing crash with intel driver 865G hardware.
Hi Bill, Please describe exactly what's happening here, when doing what, how, ... Is this bug a freeze of the machine or just a crash of the X server? If it is a crash, we need a backtrace to debug the problem. There should be one at the end of /var/log/Xorg.0.log (or Xorg.0.log.old if X already restarted). A better backtrace may be obtained by attaching gdb through ssh from another machine (with 'gdb -p $(pidof X)') and entering 'bt full' after the crash. Also please send the whole output of /usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg/script 3>&1 so that we see your whole config and log.

Sorry, I had read this briefly and thought you said to not use the "intel" Xorg driver. I have intelfb built into my kernel. So I used "video=intelfb:off", I think that does the same thing. I have been using this for a while and the crash does not seem to re-occur. The crash is not consistent, so I can not fully know if the problem is gone or just more rare. I have started and stopped X about 20 times. Usually, it would occur after 4-5 attempts and rarely about 10 (with the intelfb in use on ttys). Interestingly, I also had the crash while starting X from a frame buffer using intelfb. My text consoles are now very small, but I don't have any crashing. Let me know if you want any more information or testing.

The interaction between intelfb and the X driver is a mess, and it's probably not an X driver bug. Do you think we can close this bug if the crash isn't reproducible without intelfb?

This bug looks similar to #427811, and #431373. Sorry, I had originally thought this was an iDesk problem and did not look at the xserver-xorg-video-intel tickets. Maybe it should be confirmed that the other reporters are using a framebuffer virtual console. Thanks, Bill Pringlemeir. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
