[Comment 1 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2008-01-24 13:36:03 UTC]

I've just added a snapshot of the upcoming 2.2.1 release, as upstream wants more testing before making official releases. It contains quite a few Xv patches, hopefully your issue should be fixed.

Please try this snapshot on top of xorg-server 1.4.0.90. If it isn't fixed, please open a bug in freedesktop's bugzilla [1] and paste the url here.

Thanks

Always crash, I submit a bug on freedesktop

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14237

[Comment 3 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2008-01-25 09:07:55 UTC]

Thanks for the quick test :)

I see in the upstream bug that you're still using xorg-server 1.3.0. You may want to try with 1.4.0.90 (you'll need to rebuild your x11-drivers/* packages).

I'll CC myself on the upstream bug to follow it closely.

[Comment 4 Cédric Krier 2008-01-26 14:17:07 UTC]

I try 1.4.0.90 but doesn't solve the problem

[Comment 5 Cédric Krier 2008-03-03 11:57:07 UTC]

I find the problem. It is when the driver is compiled with an hardened gcc. When I switch to i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednopiessp, it works well.
I inform upstream as soon that her bugzilla is back online

[Comment 6 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2008-03-11 06:29:47 UTC]

Thanks for the follow up. I saw that upstream closed the bug too, let me know if you report anything to upstream gcc or another herd.

Cheers

[Comment 7 Cédric Krier 2008-03-11 09:20:07 UTC]

No, I don't know who I must report.
I'm not very involved about the pie and ssp that comes with hardened profile.
