In relatively high frequency, ImageMagick's display(1) seems to crash and kill the whole X session it is running in. This happens also with graphics that can not be considered too big (e.g. 652x872, which is smaller than my physical screen). The problem occurs mainly when closing the picture or clicking inside.
try 5.5.3.2 and report if you have the same problem, please
5.5.3.2 seems to have the same problem. Quitting the program also quitted X, on my second try.
What vga card ? Any chance to try different drivers ?
GeForce MX 440. Everything (what I normally use) works, including DRI. display(1) not _always_ crashes. Hmm, it's possible that the problem is related to a library conflict which I have discovered (& fixed) today. Since I cannot reproduce the problem with display(1) at the moment I will try to check later.
Let me know. Also, what library conflict was it ?
I really can't reproduce that error reported anymore. (At least not now, no matter how often I try ;-) I think the main problem was, that for some reason display(1) was linked to a different version of libpng than the what the headers were from. Maybe, this fact points to a more important problem, since ImageMagick was not the only victim of this confusion. (Installing doxygen had made this conflict emerge, since that port relies on libpng-1.) After I all, I can't swear, so... 8-}
well, that issue of libpng is resolved now. Things which really really really really need libpng-1.0* will have to specifically link to it, because libpng-1.2* is the default. note that libpng-1.0.15 is where the fix started.
