Bug 179278 – kpovmodeler-1.1.3 (KDE-3.5.5) crashes with ati-drivers-8.35.5

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Luyang Han 2007-05-20 22:18:45 UTC]

kpovmodeler crashes when starting, if the ati-drivers-8.35.5 is used on an amd64 system. The program would not crash if started with "kpovmodeler --no-opengl". Setting LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib32/dri could prevent crashing but the 3D graphics are really slow.

Related hardware settings:
CPU: AMD 64 althlonX2 3800+
graphics: ATI X1650XT

Related software settings:
gcc-4.1.1-r3
glibc-2.5-r2
gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r7
xorg-x11-7.2
ati-drivers-8.35.5
kdegraphics-3.5.5-r2

The setting of xorg.conf uses fglrx driver, with the following setting:
--------------------------------
Section "dri"
        Group "video"
        Mode 0666
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
        Option  "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
        Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
------------------------------------

The glxinfo comfirms that the direct rendering is working and glxgears gives bps > 6000.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start kpovmodeler


Actual Results:  
kpovmodeler crashes, with the following infomation.

*** glibc detected *** kpovmodeler: free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000000922790 ***

Expected Results:  
kpovmodeler should start and opengl acceleration should really work.

No ATI cards here. x11-drivers, could you take a look at this, please?

[Comment 2 Wulf Krueger (RETIRED) 2007-07-08 21:14:07 UTC]

marienz, any ideas about this one?

[Comment 3 Marcus D. Hanwell (RETIRED) 2007-07-18 01:04:54 UTC]

This sounds very much like a driver issue rather than a KDE issue. I have had several issues with the binary ATI drivers on my laptop and no longer use it. There is not a great deal that can be done and I would be tempted to mark upstream - most likely ATI although possibly kpovmodeler...

[Comment 4 Wulf Krueger (RETIRED) 2007-08-22 15:24:12 UTC]

Luyang, is this still a problem for you? If so, please re-open with your current emerge --info.

[Comment 5 Luyang Han 2007-08-25 21:54:30 UTC]

I update the ati-drivers to 8.40.4 and KDE to 3.5.7, the problem remains. Following is the emerge --info.

Luca, any ideas? This is most likely not a KDE bug.

[Comment 7 Luca Barbato 2007-12-17 07:13:49 UTC]

the backtrace doesn't point the driver...

[Comment 8 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2008-02-25 18:48:38 UTC]

Apparently not going anywhere; if you still have issues with uptodate ati-drivers, complain upstream.
