X.org server crash when pressing any extended "Internet" keys
Last modified: 2018-04-11 07:17:57 EDT
Description of problem: The X11 server crashes when I press any of the extended keys on the Logitech Cordless keyboard (Logitech Cordless Desktop MX, this one: http://www.ixbt.com/peripheral/logitech/cd-mx/img1.jpg). Alas it's not my computer so I don't know with which version this bug has been introduced, I was told that X11 "sometimes crashes" and went to investigate. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.5.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot into FC6 2. Even on the GDM screen (works in GNOME too) press any of the extended so-called "Internet" keys, or any of the so-called "Multimedia" keys. Actual results: X11 crashes Expected results: Shouldn't :) Additional info: I tried to switch the keyboard model to "pc105" - nothing changed, still crashes. I'm attaching xorg.conf and the X11 log with the crash report at the end.

Fedora Core 6 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora 7, 8, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know in this bug report. If after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX. Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter. [This is mass-filed message to all open Fedora Core 6 bugs related to Xorg or Gecko. If you see any other reason, why this bug shouldn't be closed, please, comment on it here.]
Fedora 7 and 8 do not have this problem anymore. I will close the bug.
