xorg-server seldomly crashes on me during suspend/resume. Can also happen on start of openoffice{-bin,}. The system is unusable afterwards except via remote login. The patch http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=26038 of upstream bug http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21464 solves the issue for me. It is proposed for inclusion in the 1.6 branch, but not included in any release yet, see: http://www.x.org/wiki/Server16Branch Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. suspend/resume via "echo mem > /sys/power/state" or start openoffice Actual Results: screen is black, can see some corruption from framebuffer console, x process is gone Expected Results: no crash Portage 2.2_rc33

The patch is included in xorg-server 1.6 from portage. As it's unmasked and you are using ~x86, there's little I can do. As for backporting the patch to 1.5, that won't happen because 1.5 is a dead end. One on top of which I already ship more than 80 patches to make it not suck :) Thanks
Good to know the patch is in the 1.6 ebuilds. That's all I can ask.
