Strace summary
This problem is often reported, and is common to all releases of XFree86 and X11. The problem only occurs of course when someone or some event changes the time out from underneath X. It is indeed considered a bug, but it is something that the upstream X and XFree86 maintainers should be made aware of, and something they should address. This sort of problem should be fixed by someone extremely familiar with the areas of code which cause the problem. As such, I suggest reporting the problem upstream in hopes it gets fixed in a future release, and hopefully fixes make it into current releases as well. Due to infamiliarity with the code, I'll leave the bug report open, and apply any fixes upstream can provide once they've fixed the problem. Thank you very much for your response and your candor. I filed it with the bug form at http://www.xfree86.org/cgi-bin/bugform.cgi. Unfortunately they don't seem to hand out serial numbers for bug reports. Thanks --Mark Please read the bug report I'm duping this against, and follow testing instructions at the bottom of it. All followups in the dupe report please, thanks. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 63509 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
