Any luck after applying the mentioned patch? well, actually, i haven't had any crash since then. Sometimes X takes 90% of cpu (on quad-core AMD) and i have to restart it, but i'm confident it's a different issue. I highly recommend this patch, i'm very happy with it :-) Probably we should bug upstream about it. They are more or less aware of it, but not enough to include it, it seems. Please file a bug upstream [1] with all the info you've gathered and paste the URL here so I can track the issue. Thanks It seems closed upstream, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20718 but i dont understand in which version of xorg-server ... Also, i think you were quite click to close this bug. Until i bring this link, it was not really 'closed', but rather "waiting for upstream". We could at least report here which gentoo version of the package the user need in order to be protected from this very bug.

Indeed, it's not quite clear. > Also, i think you were quite click to close this bug. Until i bring this link, > it was not really 'closed', but rather "waiting for upstream".

In our bugzilla, NEEDINFO means "we (gentoo devs) have asked something from you (users) and we can't help you without that information". So it worked since you replied in less than a day :) Thanks I've reopened the upstream bug. Please add all the information you have in your case in the upstream bug, I've CCed myself there, we'll track the issue directly in FreeDesktop's bugzilla. Thanks i've updated to x11-base/xorg-server-1.7.1 and the crashes are back. I'm now applying the same patch by hand. |
