Please attach the X server logs to the bug report, and your configuration files for X. I need the full details from the server logs to diagnose the problem. We (Red Hat) should really try to resolve this before next release. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.0-0.99.23 i686) When starting the XFree86 4.0.2 server on a ASUS L8400C Laptop with S3 Inc. 86C270-294 Savage/MX-/IX (rev 11) the computer crashes completely. Screen shows X pattern background with some distortions in the upper 5th of the screen, kbd, mouse, eth interface don't react anymore. Only possibility for recovery is power cycle. Crashes sometimes at first X start. Crashes every time at second try (e.g. using [xkg]dm after logout, or using startx twice,...) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start X using startx (or using xdm, init 5) - crashes already in some cases 2. shut down X (logout or Ctrl-Alt-BS) - crashes in few cases 3. start X again using startx (if using xdm this is done automatically) - crashes always at this step at the latest. Actual Results: computer refused to do anything except for reacting to power cycle. Expected Results: X should have worked Workaround: Switch back to XF86_SVGA from XFree86-SVGA-3.3.6-33 which works w/o problems.
