Sources to go with xserver-xfree86-dbg
Hi, I've got a strange problem with my X server. It is crashed by starting certain applications, but not when they are started from a separate terminal. Before submitting a bug, I'd like to get more info on the crash. That's why I installed xserver-xfree86-dbg. My question is about debugging with the X server sources. What is the best way to install the sources to go along with this -dbg package? Thanks in advance. Igor P.S.: Please CC me since I'm not on the list.

Does the $DISPLAY environment variable contain the same thing in both cases? Yes and yes. Examples of apps that cause the crash are xine, djview, and even gjiten.

What is the best way to install the sources to go along with this -dbg package? apt-get source xserver-xfree86-dbg and make -f debian/rules patch-audit from the directory that creates, but a backtrace from xserver-xfree86- dbg might be useful even without the source. Thanks, I will try that. Igor -- ___ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10
Bug#164303: xserver-xfree86: Display corrupted when using tdfx driver
False alarm. My problems were completely hardware related. Screen corruption was present even when not using X and persisted across power cycles. The problem went away after changing video cards. Thanks.

This problem only got worse as I tried switching between between the text console and X. After doing that a couple of times and coming back to X, I found the display completely out of sync and completely useless. The X server did not crash, but also refused to switch back to the console. I managed to safely reboot. Note that I went through all of this twice, so far. So it's pretty reproducable. This sounds like pixmap cache corruption. This may have something to do with the improvements to the XVideo code for tdfx. I did manage to watch a video (using xine in fullscreen mode, which uses Xvideo) before the X server crashed, but did not notice any significant improvement compared with an earlier version of the tdfx driver. On the contrary, I think it may have something to do with DRI. I think this because I have the exact same card you do, and do not experience this problem. The only difference between our setups that I can discern is that you have DRI enabled (I don't because I run at depth 24). Can you try adding the following lines to the Device Section of your XF86Config-4 file? Option XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps Option XaaNoPixmapCache Try one of these at a time, and if that doesn't work, try both together. Please let us know if this resolves your problem. My own config and logfiles are attached, in case they may be of some use to you.

xmms is crashing my XFree4.0.1...
I have a voodoo3, and I ran into the same problem. I think the Xserver segfault occured when xmms was changing songs. I tracked the problem to the glx module. Couldn't get much farther because my attempts at debugging X failed miseribly. Igor
