XF86Config that provokes server crash
Created attachment 91325 [details]
/var/log/XFree86.0.log recording crash
hmm. Something else is going on: I have been able to use the option without X crashing. Will report when I figure out more. Video driver options go in the video driver "Device" section of the config file, not in the Monitor or ServerFlags sections. XFree86-Servers doesn't exist in Red Hat Linux 8.0 or 9, reassigning to XFree86. Thanks Mike. Moving the option eliminates the crash. Still, crashing is a bug, I'd say. An X server crashing due to being misconfigured might be a bug, but it is an extremely low priority bug which isn't worth engineering time to investigate and fix, when there are hundreds of bugs open which actually prevent users from using X, or are much more serious. Please file this bug report upstream at http://bugs.xfree86.org for the community of X developers to fix it. Our official workaround for this problem is to not misconfigure your X server in a bogus manner, and it will work properly. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: I'm having a lot of problems with my setup (Radeon 9000, two monitors, RHL9). In desperation, I added Option "DDCmode" "false" to one of the Monitor sections. This caused X to segfault. I put this option right after Option "dpms" This latter option was processed just before the segfault Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): XFree86-4.3.0-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.put the option in XF86Config 2.startx 3.boom Actual Results: (**) Option "dpms" (**) RADEON(0): DPMS enabled (II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled (==) RandR enabled *** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not *** be the reason for the server aborting. Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting Additional info: I will attach my XF86Config and /var/log/XFree86.0.log
