[XFree86] crash on exiting XFree with xinerama

Sun, 22 Jun 2003 06:59:44 -0700

Dear Users and Experts,

my machine has the following problem. When I exit XFree86 (configured with Xinerama) the second screen becomes inaccessible and the display manager (kdm) does not redisplay its window. Moreover, the system does not accept ssh connections. However, if a ssh is *already* open at the time of exiting XFree86, I can kill relevant processes, start the dm again and login (although the second screen fails to initialize). This problem used to occur in the previous release of Mandrake (and XFree86) as well. I remember to have read somewhere in the xfree86 site that a bug like this had been fixed or assigned but I cannot find the reference any more.

My current configuration is:

Mandrake 9.1 with all (relevant) updates applied
XFree86 4.3
3dfx vodoo3 16M AGP  (1st screen)
S3VirgeDX 4M PCI (2nd screen)
AMD Duron 1.2GHz
XF86Config-4: see below signature

I would really appreciate suggestions or comments and reports from anyone with a similar configuration (especially video cards) or any suggestion.

Thank you

Stefano
