What to do with backtraces?
Hi, my X server dies often. What should I do with the backtraces? I can't read them. Therefore I don't know if a backtrace belongs to an already reported bug or not. Should I file a new bugreport for every backtrace I get? BTW: How informative these backtraces are for you? Do you find bugs with them or do you need more informations?

As server crashes are usually upstream bugs, you could search for the function names at http://bugs.freedesktop.org and report them there if there are no reports yet. BTW: How informative these backtraces are for you? Do you find bugs with them or do you need more informations? They're a start, but a full backtrace from gdb is still often needed even just for determining which component causes the crash. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer
