Bug#422008: xserver-xorg-core: running 'xvinfo' crashes the server
Gabor Gombas wrote: I wanted to try out Beryl but the X server always crashed. Now I found a much simpler trigger: simply running 'xvinfo' reliably crashes the server with the same backtrace as Beryl. Attached is the strace output of xvinfo in case you may want to figure out what request did cause the segfault. I can't reproduce this here on a Radeon X300. Could you try with a simple xorg.conf (or even with no xorg.conf at all to use the default config)? You have lots of options in your current xorg.conf, it would be good to see if any of them causes the problem. (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//ati_drv.so (II) Module ati: vendor=X.Org Foundation compiled for 7.2.0, module version = 6.6.99 Module class: X.Org Video Driver Which ATI driver is this? We currently have 6.6.3 in unstable and 6.6.191 in experimental. It would be good to try with these. This 6.6.99 could be the previous 6.6.3-5 which has been in experimental about a month ago. It was a daily snapshot, probably less stable than both 6.6.3 and 6.6.191. Thanks, Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

However this was a good tip: I started disabling them, and disabling the loading of the v4l module made the segfault go away.
