Description Christof Damian 2006-04-20 07:32:36 UTC
Description of problem:
X crashes after login as user. I have this happening on two computers with
different graphic cards, both are AMD though. I think it might be related to a
transparent gnome-panel. It works when i switch to a text console during login
and then switch to x11.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fc5 with updates

How reproducible:
login on my machine, but it does work sometimes.

Seems to be a common problem being reported.  This is the 3rd or 4th bug report
I've seen with a backtrace pointing at the fb MMX code causing a SEGV.

Comment 2 Christof Damian 2006-05-23 13:33:15 UTC
I have switched off the transparency of gnome-panel on one machine and the
problem went away there.

Comment 3 Mike A. Harris 2006-05-23 15:16:46 UTC

Please attach your X server log and config file, from a session in which
you experience this problem, as that will help diagnosis.



Comment 5 Christof Damian 2006-11-01 14:14:35 UTC
This seems to work now. I can't remember which update fixed it.

Reporter is not able to reproduce
