Created attachment 344434 [details] Xorg.0.log from 'intel' driver crash Description of problem: Have a machine with a "Intel Corporation 82G965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)" graphics adapter connected to a ViewSonic VX2235wm LCD panel. To this point I've been running with the 'intel' driver as it correctly supported the 1680x1050 resolution. I did a massive update this morning, including updating to: xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-48.60.el5.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.5-11.fc7.x86_64 After reboot, X is crashing with the attached log. Interesting bits are: Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/Xorg(xf86SigHandler+0x71) [0x47fb11] 1: /lib64/libc.so.6 [0x364f830280] 2: /usr/bin/Xorg(xf86RandR12CreateScreenResources+0x62) [0x4b7882] 3: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so [0x2b2427fcb56a] 4: /usr/bin/Xorg(main+0x2e5) [0x4333b5] 5: /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x364f81d974] 6: /usr/bin/Xorg(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x229) [0x4327f9] Switching to either the 'i810' driver or the 'vesa' driver appears to work (although I lose the 1680x1050 resolution :-() Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-48.60.el5.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.5-11.fc7.x86_64 How reproducible: Always

Maybe that backtrace is just a very common error path, but there are quite a few other bugs which show X in the same death spiral: bug 492561 bug 476786 bug 468218 bug 498500
(In reply to comment #0) > xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-48.60.el5.x86_64 > xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.5-11.fc7.x86_64 Really? fc7 package? You sure you mean to do that?
Damn you RPM versioning! Sorry about that. I should have realized that was a really old package instead of ASSuming that RPM/yum were correct and no updates to the package were available. Things are working lots better with xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.5-9.21.el5 (i.e. latest 5.4 package.)
