This appears to be a bug in the r128 DRI code. Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates to the X Window System, which may resolve this issue. We encourage you to upgrade to the latest version of Fedora Core (http://fedora.redhat.com). If this issue turns out to still be reproduceable in the latest version of Fedora Core, please file a bug report in the X.Org bugzilla located at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component. Once you've filed your bug report to X.Org, if you paste the new bug URL here, Red Hat will continue to track the issue in the centralized X.Org bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0 Description of problem: This happens for lavalite, molecule, et al. This happens with some frequency (but not every time) on my system when one taps the keyboard or wiggles the mouse to terminate the screensaver. I get a hint of corruption with the executable apparently getting lost ... Here's some gdb output from a core file: #0 0x404ab10e in gl_3dnow_transform_normalize_normals_raw () from /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/r128_dri.so (gdb) bt #0 0x404ab10e in gl_3dnow_transform_normalize_normals_raw () from /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/r128_dri.so #1 0xbfffec98 in ?? () Cannot access memory at address 0x86 (gdb) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xscreensaver-4.05-6 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Leave system and allow screensaver to start 2.return to system and (tap keyboard, wiggle mouse) to exit screensaver 3.check for new core file in home dir Actual Results: This happens frequently enough so that after a few of the above cycles one can find several core files in one's home directory. It does not happen every single time though. Additional info:
