Description of problem: I used till now a vanilla 2.6.21.4 kernel which works just fine and tried to upgrade to 2.6.22.3 but now Xorg fails to start with the following error: Backtrace: 0: X(xf86SigHandler+0x81) [0x80c2d21] 1: [0xb7fc0420] 2: X(NumMotionEvents+0x1e) [0x807f83e] 3: X(main+0x6bf) [0x807195f] 4: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe0) [0x41b7cf70] 5: X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x1e9) [0x8070a21] Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-9.fc7 xorg-x11-drv-nv-2.0.96-2.fc7 How reproducible: always with 2.6.22.3 and 2.6.23-rc3 also with the nvidia driver Steps to Reproduce: 1.Compile vanilla 2.6.22.3 2.Start xorg 3. Actual results: The above crash Expected results: To start Xorg normally Additional info: I think this is a bigger problem and not only for the nv drivers, as I said also happens with nvidia driver. Is there any patch for the fedora kernel that solves this cause it only happens with the vanilla kernel.
I found the solution, it seems that after the kernel update the mouse input device changed from /dev/input/event2 to /dev/input/event1 and the xorg through this error which is totally unrelated... I assume this should change and give another more descriptive error and not just crash because the input device changed, but this has to be reported upstream as I will do. Please close this bug.
