Description of problem: X Crashing with the following GDM error in messages Mar 21 14:47:19 andromeda gdm[5990]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.6.0.8-16 kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.1833_FC4 How reproducible: Random, I can go days, or weeks between crashes, usually happens when I am switching between workspaces but not always.
version fc3 -> fc4 (my bad)
Do you think it's gdm that's causing the crash or something else crashing X that's making gdm give the log message? What version of xorg-x11 do you have installed?
I am running xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2 there are no messages in syslog other then the gdm one, is there a way I can turn up the verbosity on X in hopes of logging something more usefull next time this happens?
I have upgraded to fc5 running gdm-2.14.0-1 kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.1-9.fc5 and am still having crashing issues sporadically, usually when switching between the 4 destops pages.
fyi On RHEL 4.4, up2date. Same gdm error in messages. Fixed by: rpm -iv --replacepkgs /var/spool/up2date/xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.5.i386.rpm There is, perhaps, a more elegant way that would show what was corrupted
Are you still seeing this Chris?
Sorry please close this issue I no longer have any old boxes all my boxes are RHEL5.2 and f9 and do not show this problem.
