Description Jeff Burrell 2012-10-12 23:08:58 UTC
Created attachment 626336 [details]
Xorg.0.log.old file

Description of problem:

We've found that some errors are reported when you log out of the RHEL 5.9 desktop. This occurs on any system with an nVidia or AMD graphics card installed, with the in-box open source drivers or with the third party closed source driver installed. We do see that it happens when the card-2-monitor connection is DP.  This error does not seem to happen when you're connected to a DVI connection.

The following backtrace can be found in the Xorg.log.old file:

Backtrace:
0: /usr/bin/Xorg(xf86SigHandler+0x81) [0x80c3511]
1: [0xe2e420]

Additional info:

Comment 1 Adam Jackson 2012-11-02 20:54:46 UTC
Raising for 5.9, this is probably due to some memory leak fixes applied in 5.9.

Comment 2 Adam Jackson 2012-11-05 16:44:37 UTC
Devel ack for fixing this, it's clearly a regression introduced by the memory leak fixes already applied.

Comment 3 Adam Jackson 2012-11-07 21:52:30 UTC
Probably fixed by this build:

Please test.

Comment 7 Jeff Burrell 2012-11-12 22:33:39 UTC
As far as I can tell, the trace back issue has been fixed by these changes.

Would this have been expected to be in snapshot 5?  I'm not seeing it there...

Comment 8 Michael Boisvert 2012-11-13 20:04:33 UTC
I reproduced the backtrace on xorg-x11-server-1.1.1-48.98.el5. Upon installing xorg-x11-server-1.1.1-48.100.el5, the backtrace did not reappear. 

Verified.
