Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-6.8.1-23.EL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run the test program from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=139712 2. crash 3. Actual Results: application is crashing Expected Results: Application is not crashing Additional info:
This is fixed in xorg-x11-6.8.2 already, which will be in RHEL4 U1. There are test packages available currently for download at: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/4E/xorg-x11/6.8.2-1.EL.13.5 Please test these packages out, and if the problem persists, log into the Red Hat Global Support Services website at http://www.redhat.com/support or call 1-888-RED-HAT1 to open a support ticket for official Red Hat Enterprise Linux support. Setting status to "MODIFIED".
The problem looks actually like solved in 6.8.2. I roled packages from the SRPM from fedora core 3 updates testing and the crash does not appear anymore. It looks like the fix is to detect hardware that creates problems and fall back to the indirect (slow) rendering. At least console messages say this. I would consider it closed since the 6.8.2-1.EL.13.5 (that I cannot access because the ftp server asks me to authenticate :-)) and the version from fedora core 3 updates testing are likely to be very similar
The xorg-x11 rpms are include and enable a different set of patches for FC3/FC4/RHEL4. If the base 6.8.2 release contains a fix for bugs in 6.8.1 or earlier, using any of our 6.8.2 builds will likely solve a given issue. If an issue is fixed by a patch we apply however, it may or may not be applied to specific builds. As such, we need RHEL customers to test official RHEL builds for bug fixes, as they're not the same as Fedora Core builds. The 6.8.2-1.EL.13.5 rpms linked to above are publically accessible via standard anonymous ftp, which I've just confirmed this myself. Just to be sure there's no problem with external access, two people in IRC confirmed the files are downloadable as well. If you're having firewall problems, enabling or disabling "passive" mode in your ftp client often works around them. Hope this helps.
Sorry, my fault with the FTP. I installed the packages and everything is OK. testgl finishes without crashing and other applications (as openoffice.org-1.9.100-1, a RHEL4 version of FC4 packages, built with gcc/g++ 3.4 and gcj4/gij4 4.0.0-5) work very well.
