Description Alexandre Oliva 2006-05-14 18:45:16 UTC
Description of problem:
If I add 'Load "vnc"' to the 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
synaptics-0.14.4-6
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.99.903-1
xorg-x11-drv-keyboard-1.1.0-1
xorg-x11-drv-mouse-1.1.0-1
xorg-x11-drv-nv-1.1.1-2
xorg-x11-drv-vesa-1.1.0-1
vnc-server-4.1.1-38

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Add Load "vnc" to xorg.conf
2.Restart X

Actual results:
It won't start.  /var/log/Xorg.0.log ends with:


   *** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not
   *** be the reason for the server aborting.

Backtrace:
0: /usr/bin/Xorg(xf86SigHandler+0x90) [0x4783b0]

8: /usr/bin/Xorg(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0xa9) [0x4304d9]

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting


Expected results:
It works with earlier releases.  If I downgrade rawhide to the following rpms,
it works again:

synaptics-0.14.4-4.2.1.x86_64.rpm
xorg-x11-drv-keyboard-1.0.1.3-1.2.x86_64.rpm
xorg-x11-drv-mouse-1.0.4-1.x86_64.rpm
xorg-x11-drv-nv-1.0.1.5-3.1.x86_64.rpm
xorg-x11-drv-vesa-1.0.1.3-1.2.x86_64.rpm
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.1-9.x86_64.rpm

The problem occurs with both nv and vesa as the main drivers.  I could try
radeon as well, but this used to freeze the entire machine hard as soon as I
connected from a vnc client, so I won't even bother.

Additional info:
This problem with vnc started on April 10, as mentioned in bug 186442.  There
have been X and vnc updates since that date, but none that fixed the problem.

Comment 1 Alexandre Oliva 2006-05-27 09:18:57 UTC
This is fixed in rawhide.
