I posted a few weeks ago that since upgrading X via the SuSE XFree86-3.3.3-3
rpm (libc5 based of course), every time I try to run gimp, xanim or blender, the
whole X system crashed right back to the console. There were only a couple of
replies.
Since then I've switched from an ATI Xpert@play 4MB AGP to an STB Velocity 128
4MB AGP card, and thus from the XF86_Mach64 server to the XF86_SVGA server.
The problem persists however, so it is not a card-specific or server-specific
issue. It disables some of my system's main applications and it's almost
certain that there are other applications which have the same effect. I posted a
bug report to XFree86.org on 20 December but though they've acknowledged receipt
I know of no further progress (presumably the Christmas holidays will slow
things down anyway).
Surely, more people must have noticed this problem...
If you have crashed X since installing 3.3.3-3 (the symptom I am looking for is
an abrupt exit from the GUI straight back to a text console, immediately on
starting the application) then please mail any details either to me or to this
list and I will compile a more comprehensive report for the XFree86 guys.
Thanks
Ralph
