Bug 243587

Log file ".xsession-errors" reporting the crash

I have identical behavior on a rather different system. F8test1 with today's
kernel running on VMWare Server 1.0.3 under WinXP with the x86_64 arch. Using
the VMWare-supplied video driver. I would have been astounded if desktop-effects
actually worked in this configuration; I've never been able to get it to work on
any bare-metal system under FC6 or FC7, but it has always failed with a polite
message. Here it immediately crashes X and restarts. Starting from terminal and
capturing the stderr output yields the info below. My .xsession-errors log is
just filled with errors about "gnomebreakpad" that I see quite often and
probably has nothing to do with the crash.
Stderr output from "desktop-effects" ->

Reporter, are you able to reproduce this with the current Rawhide? If yes, could
you please attach to this bug /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/XOrg.0.log as
separate uncompressed attachments, please?

Thank you

I see the same issue on my IBM T23 - after switching on desktop effects,
x-server crashes.

Tested with rawhide, but here the x-server doesn't start at all after upgrading
from F8->rawide ...

I've already filed a report-# 426994

Thanks,

Jo

> Reporter, are you able to reproduce this with the current Rawhide?

This bug is on hold until bug 426994 has been solved. I have committed
a "gdb" traceback output over there to help nail down the issue. Note
that right now, it's not even possible to rebuild the "xorg-x11-drv-savage" 
driver package on a current "rawhide" system which indicates that something
is really screwed up.

So, let's keep that NEEDINFO here, right?

Sure, see comment #5.

Xorg still aborts as described in comment #5 after upgrading to:
 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.1-0.19.20080107.fc9
 xorg-x11-drv-savage-2.1.3-100.20071210.fc9

I don't expect that in the current sad state of X in Rawhide, this issue would
turn better, but just curious … did it?

After updating xorg-x11-drv-savage-2.1.3-101.20071210.fc9 to current git
as of 2008-03-02, X still crashes at start-up, see bug 426994. Currently,
thus only the vesa driver is available.

Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log
file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file
attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below.

Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and
let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug
/var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.
More information and reason for this action is here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fixed in current F9: when trying to enable desktop effects, one
obtains: "Desktop effects could not be enabled" which is a graceful
handling of the lacking support of non power of two textures in the
"savage" driver. In .xsession-errors, the following text appears:

compiz (core) - Fatal: Support for non power of two textures missing
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

How it's the status of this issue in Fedora 10 or 11?

F10 behaves like F9 which is ok. I tried "rawhide" (F11) a few weeks ago, and direct rendering was broken. Thus, desktop effects couldn't be tested. I will give it another try next weekend.
