Crashed server log
You MUST have "Screen n" keywords in every single device section in multihead configurations. Your X server is misconfigured. There may or may not be additional problems once the X server is configured properly. Please correct this and provide a status update. Note: our config tools do not properly configure xinerama or other multihead. You must configure it manually. The problem reported here is due to X server config file misconfiguration. While it is true that the X server should not crash even if it is misconfigured, such a crash is a corner case which is not something that would work even if the server were fixed to not crash under this misconfiguration. As such, the server crash is a low impact bug that doesn't affect normal supported X server usage. Please refer to the X server documentation for assistance in configuring triple head setup, as our tools do not support configuring such setups currently. Closing bug "NOTABUG". |
