Yes, could be the same. I first encountered it when exiting from i3. I then found the same thing with several other window managers, although logging out via the menu does not cause it.

Bug#673287: xserver-xorg: Crash occurs when the X process is killed.
Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.6+13 Severity: normal To reproduce the crash, open any terminal (e.g. xterm) in a window manager (icewm, dwm, i3 for example) and execute "kill ", where corresponds to the X server as identified with "ps ax". The result is either a frozen screen or a black screen. In either case there is no response to any key press or the mouse. It is no longer possible to ping the machine from elsewhere in the network and a hard reset is required. If X is killed from a tty terminal (outside X) it terminates normally. I have had this on two different machines, one with Nouveau and one with Radeon. The crash does not occur in Stable or Testing. I made an experimental installation of Debian on a spare partition and upgraded first to Testing and then to Sid. The crash only occurs in Sid. It is therefore evidently due to some component of the X system bui I don't know which. -- Package-specific info: X server symlink status: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Feb 11 13:53 /etc/X11/X -> /usr/bin/Xorg -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2072872 May 7 01:59 /usr/bin/Xorg VGA-compatible devices on PCI bus: -- 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] [10de:0221] (rev a1) /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d does not exist.

Bug#472108: Found a solution
After reading NEWS.Debian.gz for xserver-xorg-video-radeon I followed the suggestion to turn off KMS by editing /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf. I could then switch back and forth between X and VT without problems. Perhaps this information should also be included in the documentation for xserver-xorg-video-ati?

Bug#533301: jerky display on bbc iplayer
Actually, I switched to fglrx because the display is worse with radeon or radeonhd. With those, the screen keeps on redrawing itself on full screen, though it doesn't crash with firefox beta. But I can't exit full screen with Esc. Incidentally, with either radeon or radeonhd I get much slower fps with glxgears -- only about a third of that with fglrx.

Bug#523724: Further information as requested
In reply to your questions: 1. I did not change the kernel or anything else that seems relevant. 2. I don't know why direct rendering is shown as disabled in the log file. glxinfo says it is enabled with both versions of xorg. 3. /proc/mtrr is different with the two versions. With the older (working) version I get: reg00: base=0x0 (0MB), size= 1024MB, count=1: write-back reg01: base=0x03ff0 ( 1023MB), size=1MB, count=1: uncachable reg02: base=0x0d800 ( 3456MB), size= 128MB, count=1: write-combining With the newer one I get only: reg00: base=0x0 (0MB), size= 1024MB, count=1: write-back reg01: base=0x03ff0 ( 1023MB), size=1MB, count=1: uncachable 4. Here is the output from dmesg. I don't know if the stuff about missing firmware at the bottom is relevant.

Bug#523585: Further information
I think this is probably an xserver-xorg problem rather than xserver-xorg-video-radeon. In any case, the keyboard problem is solved so only the jerky display in fullscreen remains.

Bug#523585: xserver-xorg-video-radeon: Full-screen display jerky
Package: xserver-xorg-video-radeon Version: 1:6.12.2-1 Severity: normal Following a recent upgrade of xorg my full-screen TV display is jerky and freezes intermittently. Googleearth is also jerky. As well as this there are problems with the keyboard. For example, Ctrl-Alt-Del no longer stops X. I thought it might be because DRI is enabled by default; I have not been able to turn it off. Possibly it is some other function of xorg that is causing all this but I don't know what it could be. -- Package-specific info: Contents of /var/lib/x11/X.roster: xserver-xorg /var/lib/x11/X.md5sum does not exist.

I seem to have found a further problem with xserver-xorg-core (Version: 2:1.4.1~git20080131-1). When using xfig I get lockups and have to delete the xterm from which it is running.

I now find that I get the same problem with 2:1.4.1~git20080131-1 on another computer (desktop). This is with a different card and driver (obviously). I will submit a second bug report for this -- after the failure. What happens differs in the two machines, On the Thinkpad I get a blank but not a black screen. If I then do ctrl-alt-del it reboots. On the desktop nothing happens at all. Actually, it's even odder than that. If I do ctrl-alt-backspace immediately, as soon as X has started, it does close. But after lasting some apps it no longer does.

Bug#451989: Further news on 451989
Following the recent upgrade of xserver-xorg I tried upgrading xserver-xorg-core again. The problem with ctrl-alt-esc in Icewm has gone away but there is a new bug. Crtl-alt-del no longer closes X though I can do so via the popup panel in Icewm. I have reverted to the backported version of xserver-xorg-core.

When the lockup occurs no keys at all work, nor does the mouse, and I have to switch off and reboot. I can't see anything in Xorg.log but it only has the latest startup log for X, which is currently working. (I've disabled the Ctrl-Esc sequence in icewm.)

I'm not sure this is an xserver-xorg issue. It seems to have something to do with icewm. When I bring up a menu with Ctrl-Esc it locks up. If I bring it up with the mouse by clicking on the link at the bottom of the screen it doesn't happen. However, it has started doing this since the recent upgrade. -- Anthony Campbell - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Microsoft-free zone - Using Linux Gnu-Debian http://www.acampbell.org.uk (blog, book reviews, on-line books and sceptical articles) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Package: xinit Version: 1.0.5-1 Severity: important I have had this line in .xinitrc for months or years and it has always worked: "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" For the last couple of weeks it has stopped working; there is no error message but the file is not read. I can still run it manually for each xterm but that is not really very useful. I tried adding the same line to ~/.bashrc and this worked, but it also had the effect of inactivating ssh and ping between computers on my network because bash was trying to run xmodmap in a console and failing. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-1-k7 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xinit depends on: ii cpp 4:4.2.1-6 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii libc6 2.6.1-5GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii x11-common1:7.3+2X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc xinit recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
