Description Ronny Vaningh 2003-04-15 19:32:14 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225

Description of problem:
X crashes on my machine after a few minutes

Caught signal 11

I'm running a MGA550 in dual head mode with the standard driver (not the drivers
from matrox)

X starts fine but after a few minutes it crashes with signal 11.

This card was working fine under RH7.3
I'm now running my old TNT2 card in it and no further crashes.

I notice that there is at least 100 Mb less memory used between this single
headed session and the dual head session with the MGA550

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.3.0-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Startx
2. wait a time
3. when using runlevel5 i'm logged out (result of crash)
    

Actual Results:  Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting
 

Expected Results:  Normal session as it was on the same machine running RedHat 7.3.

From the last 4 lines of your bug report submission...

;o)

Please attach as proper bugzilla file attachments, your X server log file
and configuration file from after a server crash using the link below.

You're also recommended to file this bug report in XFree86.org's bugzilla
so that a great number of developers can potentially investigate the
problem.  You should also attach the requested files above to the upstream
bug report as well.

Thanks.

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2004-06-01 08:27:08 UTC
Closing bug report due to lack of information.  If the problem
persists with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 or Fedora Core 2, please
attach the information requested above and reopen and we will
review the issue again.

Thanks.
