Description of problem: When trying to logoff (also reboot/shutdown) from X i'm getting xorg hung with backtrace : Backtrace: 0: X(xf86SigHandler+0x79) [0x80bc2a9] 1: [0x110400] 2: X(GetPointerEvents+0xb18) [0x8097498] 3: X(xf86PostMotionEventP+0x9c) [0x80d4e1c] 4: X(xf86PostMotionEvent+0x68) [0x80d4fa8] 5: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//evdev_drv.so [0x12795a] 6: X [0x80bc447] 7: X [0x80aba6e] 8: [0x110400] 9: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nv_drv.so(G80DispShutdown+0xfa) [0x304f5a] 10: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nv_drv.so [0x305632] 11: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nv_drv.so [0x30687f] 12: X [0x816a4e1] 13: X [0x80c14fb] 14: X [0x81479dd] 15: X [0x8168b32] 16: X [0x814061e] 17: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so [0x28e1a3] 18: X(main+0x4ec) [0x806b38c] 19: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0xc185d6] 20: X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x22d) [0x806a701] Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.901-14.20080314.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Very often. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to X 2. Logoff or 3. boot in init 3 4. from root account: startx 5. When gnome will ask if we really want to login using root account, hit cancel Actual results: X crashes, reboot is needed. Expected results: Just logoff from session and see nice login manager

Try to upgrade to the latest Rawhide. Could you still reproduce it (evdev is gone now for most cases)?
Well, after today's update i can logout without any problems, this seems to work, but still when i will switch to i.e. tty2, log in as root, then try to login with gnome session startx -- :1 and, after gnome will ask if i REALLY want to start gnome with root privileges, i'll hit cancel, i'm able to produce following backtraces: Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x79) [0x80bc2f9] 1: [0x110400] 2: /usr/bin/X(GetPointerEvents+0xb18) [0x80974e8] 3: /usr/bin/X(xf86PostMotionEventP+0x9c) [0x80d4e6c] 4: /usr/bin/X(xf86PostMotionEvent+0x68) [0x80d4ff8] 5: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//evdev_drv.so [0x1e195a] 6: /usr/bin/X [0x80bc497] 7: /usr/bin/X [0x80ababe] 8: [0x110400] 9: [0x110416] 10: /lib/libc.so.6(sigprocmask+0x4f) [0xc2d74f] 11: /usr/bin/X(xf86UnblockSIGIO+0x57) [0x80ab527] 12: /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libint10.so(finish_int+0x21) [0x31a0d1] 13: /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libint10.so(xf86ExecX86int10+0x43) [0x31aef3] 14: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nv_drv.so [0x30566a] 15: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nv_drv.so [0x30687f] 16: /usr/bin/X [0x816a641] 17: /usr/bin/X [0x80c154b] 18: /usr/bin/X [0x8147a6d] 19: /usr/bin/X [0x8168c92] 20: /usr/bin/X [0x81406ae] 21: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so [0x28f0e3] 22: /usr/bin/X(main+0x4ec) [0x806b3fc] 23: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0xc185d6] 24: /usr/bin/X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x221) [0x806a771] and second: Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x79) [0x80bc2f9] 1: [0x110400] 2: /usr/bin/X(GetPointerEvents+0xb18) [0x80974e8] 3: /usr/bin/X(xf86PostMotionEventP+0x9c) [0x80d4e6c] 4: /usr/bin/X(xf86PostMotionEvent+0x68) [0x80d4ff8] 5: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//evdev_drv.so [0x1e195a] 6: /usr/bin/X [0x80bc497] 7: /usr/bin/X [0x80ababe] 8: [0x110400] 9: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nv_drv.so(G80DispShutdown+0xfa) [0x304f5a] 10: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nv_drv.so [0x305632] 11: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nv_drv.so [0x30687f] 12: /usr/bin/X [0x816a641] 13: /usr/bin/X [0x80c154b] 14: /usr/bin/X [0x8147a6d] 15: /usr/bin/X [0x8168c92] 16: /usr/bin/X [0x81406ae] 17: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so [0x28f0e3] 18: /usr/bin/X(main+0x4ec) [0x806b3fc] 19: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0xc185d6] 20: /usr/bin/X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x221) [0x806a771] Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting Maybe it's somehow related to bug #439927, because after I will cancel gnome login procedure, i see only dark tty, then switching to tty7 and back to tty2 fixes this and i can see normal terminal with above backtraces. Attaching another Xorg.0.log is not necessary I think as they're differing only with those backtrace's.
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
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
