Description of problem: When desktop effects are enabled on an "IBM ThinkPad T23", the "X" server crashes immediately. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): compiz-0.4.0-1.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to "GNOME" session. 2. Switch on desktop effects. Actual results: After a few seconds, the "X" server aborts, and one is dropped to the "GDM" login panel. Expected results: Desktop effects just work or in case that not, "X" server falls back to non-composite mode after a short period of time as on other systems. Additional info: None.

I have identical behavior on a rather different system. F8test1 with today's kernel running on VMWare Server 1.0.3 under WinXP with the x86_64 arch. Using the VMWare-supplied video driver. I would have been astounded if desktop-effects actually worked in this configuration; I've never been able to get it to work on any bare-metal system under FC6 or FC7, but it has always failed with a polite message. Here it immediately crashes X and restarts. Starting from terminal and capturing the stderr output yields the info below. My .xsession-errors log is just filled with errors about "gnomebreakpad" that I see quite often and probably has nothing to do with the crash. Stderr output from "desktop-effects" -> Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory desktop-effects: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0. ** (desktop-effects:3622): WARNING **: Failed to send buffer desktop-effects: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0. gtk-window-decorator: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. ** (gtk-window-decorator:3639): WARNING **: Failed to send buffer ** (gtk-window-decorator:3639): WARNING **: Failed to send buffer The application 'gtk-window-decorator' lost its connection to the display :0.0; most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application.

Reporter, are you able to reproduce this with the current Rawhide? If yes, could you please attach to this bug /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/XOrg.0.log as separate uncompressed attachments, please? Thank you
I see the same issue on my IBM T23 - after switching on desktop effects, x-server crashes. Tested with rawhide, but here the x-server doesn't start at all after upgrading from F8->rawide ... I've already filed a report-# 426994 Thanks, Jo
(In reply to comment #3) > Reporter, are you able to reproduce this with the current Rawhide? This bug is on hold until bug 426994 has been solved. I have committed a "gdb" traceback output over there to help nail down the issue. Note that right now, it's not even possible to rebuild the "xorg-x11-drv-savage" driver package on a current "rawhide" system which indicates that something is really screwed up.
So, let's keep that NEEDINFO here, right?
Sure, see comment #5.
Xorg still aborts as described in comment #5 after upgrading to: xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.1-0.19.20080107.fc9 xorg-x11-drv-savage-2.1.3-100.20071210.fc9
I don't expect that in the current sad state of X in Rawhide, this issue would turn better, but just curious … did it?
After updating xorg-x11-drv-savage-2.1.3-101.20071210.fc9 to current git as of 2008-03-02, X still crashes at start-up, see bug 426994. Currently, thus only the vesa driver is available.
Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fixed in current F9: when trying to enable desktop effects, one obtains: "Desktop effects could not be enabled" which is a graceful handling of the lacking support of non power of two textures in the "savage" driver. In .xsession-errors, the following text appears: compiz (core) - Fatal: Support for non power of two textures missing compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0 compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
How it's the status of this issue in Fedora 10 or 11?
F10 behaves like F9 which is ok. I tried "rawhide" (F11) a few weeks ago, and direct rendering was broken. Thus, desktop effects couldn't be tested. I will give it another try next weekend.
