Xorg log

Description of problem:
Just upgraded to F19 from F18. When gdm starts, Xorg fails to start and a segfault pointing to OsLookupColor can be seen in the stack trace in the log file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Not sure which component is specifically the culprit:
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.14.2-3.fc19.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-common-1.14.2-3.fc19.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.1.0-5.20130408git6e74aacc5.fc19.x86_64
mesa-dri-drivers-9.2-0.12.20130610.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the system/start gdm
2.
3.

Actual results: Segfault in log, boot VT stays at systemd service startup list. Only VTs available.


Expected results: Boot to GDM

Could possibly be related to, or a dupe of, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=965605

Comment 2 Morgan Howe 2013-08-01 05:38:17 UTC
I pulled and built the latest mesa from git for the radeonsi_dri.so which seems to fix the problem.

Comment 3 Dave Airlie 2013-08-02 00:24:59 UTC
did you actually build upstream mesa with the same flags as we build Fedora mesa?

Comment 4 Morgan Howe 2013-08-02 00:42:34 UTC
I just built upstream with the defaults chosen by ./configure. I will look into where to get the flags used by Fedora (or please point me in the right direction if you can) and confirm.

Comment 5 Dave Airlie 2013-08-02 00:53:14 UTC

is a scratch build with the latest upstream stable build, maybe see if installing that helps.

Comment 6 Morgan Howe 2013-08-03 01:11:35 UTC
As was discussed on the mailing list, it turns out this is a Gallium specific issue that still exists in upstream. I have filed a bug with Mesa.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 22:12:10 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

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.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 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, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

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.

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-18 14:00:08 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 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. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
