Created attachment 316840 [details] /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old Description of problem: From time to time (like twice day, but there are exceptions) Xorg crashes and I get into console. Backtrace points to /usr/lib64/xorg/modules//libexa.so(exaCompositeRects+0x12f) [0x2272d2f] (see attaached) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.0-6.fc10.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-14.fc10.x86_64 kernel-2.6.27-0.323.rc6.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: from time to time Additional info: sometimes it happens just without any effort on my side, and sometimes the computer gets to the state that even after relogin, it was killed 3 times out of 3 just by running screen -r in the gnome-terminal. Then I rebooted whole computer and everything works smoothly.

The only way you could crash here is if pPicture wasn't a real pointer in the first place.
I have a similar problem, but I can reproduce it quite easily. If I log into Gnome, start a gnome-terminal and run "top" X will crash and throw me back to GDM-login. Same happens if I run a MySql-query - even on a remote machine IE. ssh otherhost mysql -h thirdhost select * from table; -> instant local X crash

After a bit of experimenting, it seems like the crash only happens if the gnome-terminal window is bigger than default. So if I start a new gnome-terminal I can run top just fine. If I either resize the window to fill most of the screen, or maximize it X will crash.
should be fixed in xorg-x11-server-1.5.1-5.fc10 which will land in rawhide soon.
1.5.1-6 does not have xserver-1.5.1-exa-fix-glyph-segfault.patch, although changelog of the src.rpm lies so.
