Description Volkmar Glauche 2007-09-26 15:59:02 UTC 
When I open the attached document and start to present it in full screen mode, X crashes (see attached Xorg.0.log) in the nvidia driver. This does not happen when using the "nv" driver, but then images do not show in full screen mode.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start X
2.run openoffice 2.3 with document
3.X crashes at the last slide in full screen presentation mode

Actual Results:  
X is restarted by xdm

Expected Results:  
X should not crash

Contact NVIDIA as these are binary drivers, we can not resolve any bugs with them. Use nvidia-bug-report.sh, also you can use their forums to communicate with them.

It turns out, that this misbehaviour is neither driver specific nor openoffice version specific:

Test cases are:
openoffice 2.2 and 2.3

xorg-server 1.3 with "nvidia" driver
xorg-server 1.4-r1 with "nvidia", "ati", "nv" drivers

Results:
xorg-server 1.3: both openoffice 2.2 and 2.3 work correctly in full-screen mode

xorg-server 1.4:
openoffice 2.3 and "nvidia" driver: some images seem to be displayed off-screen, crash as described above
openoffice 2.3 and "nv"/"ati" drivers: some images seem to be displayed off-screen
openoffice 2.2 and any tested driver: some images seem to be displayed off-screen

In short, xorg-server 1.3 seems to not have this problem, while xorg-server 1.4 or any library used has, no matter what driver is used.

Newer pixman and xorg-server don't seem to exhibit this behavior anymore.

If you can still reproduce, please don't hesitate to reopen this bug.

Thanks
