Description of problem: On my laptop, upgrading to the latest xorg-x11 (6.8.1-10) causes X to crash with SIGSEGV. This is regardless of whether I try it with the included open source "nv" driver or the proprietary "nvidia" one. Before anyone asks ;-), this problem occurs on a freshly booted, untainted system, without the proprietary nvidia libraries in the library path. The problem is there on both kernel-2.6.8-1.610 and kernel-2.6.9-1.639. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-6.8.1-10 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: - Upgrade to xorg-x11-6.8.1-10 - try to start X (run "X") Actual results: X crashes with signal 11 Expected results: X starts without crashing Additional info: from lspci -vvvv: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV28 [GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go AGP 8x] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: Dell: Unknown device 0179 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop+ ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 248 (1250ns min, 250ns max) Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11 Region 0: Memory at fc000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Region 1: Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M] [virtual] Expansion ROM at 80000000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [44] AGP version 3.0 Status: RQ=32 Iso- ArqSz=0 Cal=0 SBA+ ITACoh- GART64- HTrans- 64bit- FW+ AGP3- Rate=x1,x2,x4 Command: RQ=1 ArqSz=0 Cal=0 SBA- AGP- GART64- 64bit- FW- Rate=<none>
Forgot: Downgrading to -8 solved the problem for me.

Thanks for reporting this. There should be an xorg-x11-6.8.1-12 out soon to fix this, in the meantime, avoid the xorg-x11-6.8.1-{9,10,11} builds and stick to xorg-x11-6.8.1-8. Kristian
Status update: Since many people are encountering this issue and wanting to know when the fix will be available, I thought I would provide a simple update to keep everyone in the loop. The problem was introduced in a patch which first appeared in the 6.8.1-9 build, which will probably cause most if not all systems to fail regardless of video hardware or driver being used. Once the problem was discovered, Kristian updated his patch to fix the issue in 6.8.1-12 which we've done some local testing with. The problem is now fixed in internal CVS, and new packages will be available once they have passed through our buildsystem. It may take several hours, or even a day or more before the -12 build is built on all 7 architectures, depending on the load on the buildsystem and other factors. The current time estimate is that a build should be available before next Monday at the latest, and a few hours at the earliest. For those who need a fix in the meantime, please use 6.8.1-8 until we have made -12 available. As soon as the 6.8.1-12 build is available, I will upload it to people.redhat.com and provide a URL here for people to download the new rpms for testing. In the mean time, please watch this bug report for status updates. Thanks for your patience.

xorg-x11-6.8.1-12 is now available for download via ftp, and http at the following URLs: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/unstable http://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/unstable Please test these packages, and update the report to indicate if the SEGV is no longer reproduceable. If the problem persists change the status to "ASSIGNED", otherwise set the status to "RAWHIDE". Thanks for testing.
-12 fixes the problem for me. Thanks!
Thanks for the update. Setting status to "RAWHIDE".
I confirm it... -12 fixes the problem. Thank you for the updates Mike Harris! :D
Actually, Kristian fixed it. ;o) But he also broke it, so he gets credit for both. ;o) *runs*
I had the same problem on a dual Xeon 1GHz Dell Precision 620 with an nVidia GeForce2 GTS card. The xorg-x11-6.8.1-12 packages fixed it.

Yep, works for me too (Radeon IGP340M on HP Pavillion ZE-4201) in 6.8.1-12.
