Segmentation fault in /usr/bin/Xorg
Last modified: 2010-12-03 09:55:18 EST
Description of problem: My X session crashes at seemingly random intervals. The Xorg.log shows that a segmentation fault happened in /usr/bin/Xorg Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.6-3.fc12.i686 Also, my driver is the intel driver: xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.9.1-1.fc12.i686 How reproducible: It happens very randomly. Sometimes once a day, sometimes not at all, sometimes every few minutes. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run X 2. Wait for it to crash 3. Actual results: X crashes randomly Expected results: Xorg should not crash.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '12'. 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 12'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 12 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 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
