Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xf86dga
I run AMD64 Ubuntu Edgy on a core2duo with onboard g965 and PCI r128
video hardware, in a multiseat setup. (-sharevts, evdev input devices).
I know this is probably the wrong package to report this on, since dga
is just the client, not the library that's doing all the fancy stuff. I
hope you know which package to transfer it to.
Running sudo dga makes my screen blink (i.e. a relay in the CRT cilcks, so
the video signal must have been affected), and the screen stops updating. The
X server also stops reading the keyboard.
The X server was still running, and xdpyinfo worked. Killing my wm
made my startx session exit, including the X server. Starting X again
didn't show any signs of video corruption, so it didn't leave the card
in a weird state. (the text console was screwed up, of course.)
This happens on both the i965 head and the r128 head. crashing one
doesn't affect the other.
The interesting part is that the kernel log shows that the dga process
had a corrupt pagetable. I'll attach my kern.log, from doing dga on the
r128 head, and then on the i965 head.
** Affects: xf86dga (Ubuntu)
