Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
I run into the same issue with xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.12-5.el6.x86_64, xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.7-28.el6.x86_64 (@el6.1)

xorg_configure log with backtrace
Description of problem:
If you'll execute Xorg -configure "from console" on RHEL 5.5 qemu-kvm guest using spice (qxl driver) then you'll get "black console" with no output being showed.
However blind execution of /sbin/init 5 returns me back to the Xorg (so input works well).
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-.1.1.1-48.76.el5_5.1
xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.12-1.2.el5
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. switch to the console
2. be sure that xorg is not running
3. run Xorg -configure
Actual results:
Backtrace:
0: Xorg(xf86SigHandler+0x71) [0x4958c1]
1: /lib64/libc.so.6 [0x31828302d0]
2: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/qxl_drv.so [0x2b451a1330d8]

7: Xorg(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x241) [0x432a49]
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
Console does not return any output
Expected results:
Server should not be killed. Console should return output as usually
Additional info:
Console is not returning any output after switching back to console.

Can you try again with the server and driver in 6.1?

I run into the same issue with xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.12-5.el6.x86_64, xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.7-28.el6.x86_64 (@el6.1)
So it does happen also in 6.1

Will attempt to fix this. We'll tentatively dev_ack it, but there's a chance we won't be able to.
