Source code to make it crash
Red Hat Engineering has reviewed this bug and determined it is based on a problem with an nVidia proprietary driver. There is therefore nothing Red Hat can really do to fix them since we don;t have access to the source code. I an therefore closing as "Not a Red Hat bug." If you disagree or can recreate the problem on a video driver shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, please reopen this bug with the additional information. Here a patch that fix the problem: diff -urN xfree.orig/xc/programs/Xserver/xkb/xkbAccessX.c xfree/xc/programs/Xser ver/xkb/xkbAccessX.c --- xfree.orig/xc/programs/Xserver/xkb/xkbAccessX.c 2001-08-23 10:33:25.0000 00000 -0400 +++ xfree/xc/programs/Xserver/xkb/xkbAccessX.c 2005-08-10 08:05:16.000000000 -0 400 @@ -384,7 +384,7 @@ KeyCode key; #endif { - if (xkbi->repeatKey==key) + if ( xkbi && xkbi->repeatKey==key) xkbi->repeatKey= 0; return; } Thanks for narrowing the problem down, and removing the proprietary Nvidia driver from the equation. Reopening bug for re-review and consideration in future update. Patch from comment #7 applied to CVS for XFree86-4.3.0-98.EL XFree86-4.3.0-98.EL rpms built for RHEL3 U7 are temporarily available for download and testing at the following URL: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/3.0E Please download a copy right away, even if you can't test them right away, as I have limited disk quota, and the files will be removed to make space for other things soon. Setting status to "MODIFIED", and waiting for testing feedback from bug reporter. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2006-0071.html |
