Description of problem: Cylindrix aborts on exit which has the side effect of leaving the desktop in a horribly small resolution, such as 640x480. It aborts with the following error: FIXME in main.c: not freeing pcx data in free_menu_stuff - was causing hang. Aborted Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cylindrix-1.0-9.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch the game 2. Quit the game 3. Actual results: Game aborts leaving the desktop with a messed up resolution Expected results: Game should quit gracefully allow the desktop resolution to be restored. Additional info:
I'm not seeing this, in either Windowed or Fullscreen modes. Can you reproduce this on other hardware, specifically other video hardware?
Hi, Yes I tried on different hardware, the only other hardware I have running Fedora 11 is a PPC Mac. Unfortunately the situation was even worse there, where it crashes shortly after startup. I've raised a new bug (507639) for that as it appears to be different. The issue may also exist on the other machine but I can't get cylindrix to even run that far. For reference, my X86_64 laptop has: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 9600M GT (rev a1) The PPC Mac laptop has: 0000:00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] I was running the proprietary nvidia drivers on the X86_64 laptop so I double checked using nouveau and it results in the same problem. The PPC Mac is obviously running the FOSS drivers (radeon). I've also attached backtrace

Hmm. I'll try to see if I can find a PPC box to test with. On the PPC, what happens if you use the vesa driver?
I've just tried an F11 (x86_64) virtual machine running under VirtualBox and the same problem occurs as reported for my X86_64 laptop. I'll trying with the VESA drivers on the PPC laptop.
I don't appear to be able to use the VESA driver on the PPC Mac. X receives a signal 7, shortly after trying to POST the card on Int 10. I'm not sure if that's because you can't use the VESA drivers on this platform or whether it's an X bug.
I'm curious, are you at least seeing FIXME in main.c: not freeing pcx data in free_menu_stuff - was causing hang. Aborted when you run it from the command line?
I also get that error. I may have access to test on PPC shortly.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. 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 '11'. 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 11'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 11 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
I can't get hold of a ppc box. Is this still occurring?
I still get the same error on exit, however it seems to restore the screen resolution on exit at least now.
So. . .I suppose it's not a bug, as the error is basically noise. Shall I close?
Well I suppose it is technically a bug because it appears not to be exiting cleanly, however I no longer get the messed up the screen res and otherwise it seems harmless. I'm happy for it to be closed. Thanks Jon.
Ok, done. Thanks. I may investigate the message and see what I can do.
