Description of problem:


Installed FC5t2, X would hang the machine. Booted as single user and yum updated
as at 20th Feb 2006

This bug relates to the inability of the X server to start.
xorg-x11-drivers-7.0-2
synaptics-0.14.4-4.2.1
Dell Inspiron 6000 with Radeon X300, synaptics touchpad and 1920x1200 screen

How reproducible: every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install FC5t2, yum update. 
2. attempt to start X
  
Actual results:

X server gets Signal 11

Expected results:

X server starts normally

Additional info (tail end of Xorg.0.log):

	compiled for 4.3.99.902, module version = 1.0.0
	Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
	ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 0.5

   *** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not
   *** be the reason for the server aborting.

Comment 1 Paul Nasrat 2006-02-21 23:30:35 UTC
Can you boot into run level 3

ulimit -c unlimited
startx

compress and attach the generated core to this bug report.

Comment 2 cam 2006-02-22 01:04:27 UTC
init 3
ulimit was already unlimited
startx
core.3023.bz2 attached soon

I had an idea that selinux might be involved. I set it to 'Disabled' and the bug
no longer happens. Any ideas how to debug further? I used ls -Z and the
synaptics .o was similar to the other ones. Which log should give more details
of the problem?

Comment 5 cam 2006-02-22 23:33:30 UTC
No longer able to reproduce this bug in FC5t3. Same versions of synaptics and
xorg-x11-drivers so I'm not sure what has been fixed. Thanks!
