This particular issue may be a bug in gdm3, not the X server. (If the X
server wasn't starting, you generally wouldn't see any output at all.)

Someone else may be able to give you more information on how you can
debug this problem in gdm3.

 That's quite impractical, because of the number of bugs debian-x
 receives.  Listmasters, could you bump the size limit for debian-x?

debian-x is currently allowing messages up to 512K, I could bump this
up to 1M, but that's kind of excessive.

 Blars, what's the typical size of the rejected messages?

The two messages that have been rejected are 834K in size.

The real solution is implementing remote attachments in debbugs
(#475768).

 I tried it, but it didn't have much of an effect. All it did was set
 two fingers to right click and three fingers to left click, but it
 had no effect on single finger tap. I can set TapButton1 to pretty
 much any value without any effect. Is there some other setting I
 should be mucking with?

What's the ouptut of synclient -s -l; ? Are you changing the values

 Which xserver-xorg-core are you using? I will reassign the bug
 accordingly then.

There's only one, and I've reassigned it.

 Could you send the output of
 /usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg-core/script 31
 so that we see your config and log?

There's nothing terribly useful in them; the machine is using xinerama
which is the only odd thing, but I've attached them anyway.

 The log right after a crash might help too, but the best would be a
 backtrace from either attaching gdb before the crash (through ssh)
 or later with a coredump (see [1] for details).

Clearly; if I had time I would have done this. Next time it happens
I'll trigger a core.

retitle 366924 xkb map for macintosh keyboards causing meta/alt/left/right

After playing around a bit, it appears that this problem goes away if
I xbsel us; which selects the xfree86(us) keymap instead of the
macintosh keymap which was selected by default.

I'm not quite sure what changed in the recent upgrade to xlibs to
break this, but it was working fine previously.

Right; you probably resubmitted it at some point since you wouldn't
have received anything about #271968 because of #191306 (outgoing
messages were eaten because it contained a bad e-mail address that
sendmail complained about.)

   At this point, I'm not planning on doing anything here.  If you want
 me to do something (e.g. sending a summary of #273194 to

Since you had already resubmitted it, I've gone ahead and merged these

Well, the patch works and appears to do the job, and doesn't appear to
cause any other side effects (like anal leakage or cerebral
hemmorage.)

not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers,
the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a
way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is
humanity hanging on a cross of iron.

Bug#238407: XFree86 crashes on PPC in 0x1072260c in AccessXCancelRepeatKey (xkbi=0x0, key=64 '@') at xkbAccessX.c:387

thanks

I'm currently testing[1] the attached patch, which seems to be clear of
the licensing issues affecting X, but regardless, it's extreemly
trivial.

I will update with results shortly.

1: Which seems to amount to running X until it crashes, since I
haven't been able to reliably trigger the core...

Ban cryptography! Yes. Let's also ban pencils, pens and paper, since
criminals can use them to draw plans of the joint they are casing or
even, god forbid, create one time pads to pass uncrackable codes to
each other. Ban open spaces since criminals could use them to converse
with each other out of earshot of the police. Let's ban flags since
they could be used to pass secret messages in semaphore. In fact let's
just ban all forms of verbal and non-verbal communication -- let's see
those criminals make plans now!
