Bug 340883 – x11-apps/grandr-0.1: produces a segmentation fault when trying to select a different screen.

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Erik Frøseth 2010-10-13 19:23:58 UTC]

When connecting a screen to the HDMI-output of my ATI Mobility Radeon and trying to select that screen from grandr, it produces a segmentation fault. See the attached file for terminal output.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect a screen to the HDMI-output
2. Open up grandr-0.1
3. Try to select a different screen than the default

Actual Results:  
Program crashes, prints out "segmentation fault"

Expected Results:  
Shown up the selected screen, and not crashed.

After searching on the internet, I found a patch to fix the problem. I've tested it and it takes care of the problem. The patch is attached, as well as a working ebuild wich patches the source.

Are you really used to that package? It's unmaintained for years, and we were considering removing it.
