Description of problem: When running opengl program (glutplane.c with motion from glut source for example), doing alt-tab very fast in gnome or kde will crash X. I am running on a NV35GL/AGP/SSE2 with latest nvidia driver. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Redhat Enterprise Update 3. Xfree doesn't crash on Update 1. How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compile glutplane.c 2. Run it and enable motion 3. Alt-tab very fast multiple time and click with the mouse in your gl window. Actual results: Xfree will crash. Here is the output: AUDIT: Wed Feb 16 10:19:40 2005: 7246 X: client 16 rejected from local host *** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not *** be the reason for the server aborting.

Red Hat Engineering has reviewed this bug and determined it is based on a problem with an nVidia proprietary driver. There is therefore nothing Red Hat can really do to fix them since we don;t have access to the source code. I an therefore closing as "Not a Red Hat bug." If you disagree or can recreate the problem on a video driver shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, please reopen this bug with the additional information.

Thanks for narrowing the problem down, and removing the proprietary Nvidia driver from the equation. Reopening bug for re-review and consideration in future update.
