Most full screen apps (i.e games) are crashing on exit in modular X. Neverball and Trackballs both exit with "*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer" and fail to set the resolution back. Unreal Tournament and Return To Castle Wolfenstein appear to crash the X server. I tried setting the resolution of Trackballs to be the same as my desktop but the crash still occurs. I also tried recompiling Neverball. I have an ATI Radeon 345M IGP. I've had random crashing problems with the DRI module for months now (only just found out what it was) but I think this is a separate issue.
Could you post your 'emerge info' and attach your xorg.conf and Xorg.x.log please?
Created attachment 73686 [details] xorg.conf Sure. I'm using "NoTrapSignals" in xorg.conf to catch this other crashing problem I have. I had this problem before I added that line.

Try without RENDER acceleration (Option "RenderAccel" "Disable" in your video driver section will do it I think).
Nevermind, I just reproduced this on my 855GM. This worked fine on 6.8.2 I'm assuming?
I know that RENDER acceleration is buggy because I get font corruption in OpenOffice unless I turn it off. Yep it worked fine in 6.8.2. Any ideas then?

This might be fixed in an upcoming version of 7.0, but I'm not 100% certain. > Yep it worked fine in 6.8.2. Any ideas then? Please file an upstream bug at https://bugs.freedesktop.org and post the link here.
I made the following bug report upstream and eventually got told that it's already been fixed in Mesa CVS. I gave CVS a try and it worked. (-: The fix should be in the upcoming Mesa 6.5 release. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5185
Awesome, thanks :)
Actually think this was also fixed in the 6.4 branch, meaning it'll hit Xorg 7.0.
I was using mesa-6.4-r1 though?
What he means is we'll probably see it in some 6.4.x version that will be a part of the 7.0 release.
James, this seems fixed for me in 6.4.1. How about you?
Yep works great. (-:
Great.
Fixed.
