From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120 Description of problem: After upgrading to Mesa-3.4.2-9 and Xscreensaver 3.33-4, when opening any openGL screensaver X will crash and be restarted. This problem is very reproducable. If I downgrade back to Mesa-3.4.3-7, this does not fix the problem. However, if I remove the symlinks (/usr/lib/libGL.so, /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 and libGLU.so.1) and recreate them, xscreensaver functions once again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. upgrade to Mesa-3.4.2-9 2. in X, as any user, open /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/gears (or any openGL screensaver) Actual Results: The screensaver goes full screen for about 1 second, then X crashes and restarts itself. Expected Results: The screensaver should open in a windowed screen and begin. Additional info: I have a voodoo 3 3000 video card, It is accelerated, as I am using XFree86 4.1.0-3. other OpenGL apps continue to work with Mesa-3.4.2-9, such as quake3. This is simply a matter of updating xscreensaver so that it depends on Mesa-3.4.2-9, instead of Mesa-3.4.2-7.
Sorry, in the description of problem section, it should read that I downgraded to Mesa-3.4.2-7, not Mesa-4.3.3-7.
That's most likely a problem with X or Mesa.
Please upgrade both your XFree86, Mesa, and kernel, as well as any other dependant packages and see if the problem goes away. If not, please attach your X servr log, X config file, and /var/log/messages to the bug report using the file attachment link below. Thanks.
I just realized that your bug is filed against rawhide. Both X 4.1.0 and Mesa are now replaced in rawhide with X 4.2.0 and it's included Mesa. Please update both your kernel, and X and all related packages to the rawhide versions and update the report with your results.
