Composite is experimental software, if that's what you're using, this problem is more likely to be relied to X11 (and then relied on "don't use experimental software"). I remember such crashes but only when using nvidia's proprietary driver (ati's opensource driver on PPC had no problem at all). It'd be nice to know if this is still a problem on X 7.0, when you get around to upgrading to it. It wouldn't surprise me if composite is at fault - as Diego said, it's quite experimental in 6.8.2. For what I've seen here, the crash with Xorg 7 is not yet fixed, but as I said the problem seems to be with nvidia proprietary drivers, at least for me. Same Xorg version, same Kopete version in the iBook works as a charm with composite. It happened to me once, but only when I had composite enabled. Also using the nvidia-kernel drivers here. It was enough reason not to use composite. ;) Ah, have you tried turning off "RenderAccel" (if it's on)? Okay considering that we don't have access to nvidia-glx sources, I think this is a CANTFIX for now. No, it's upstream. Locations exist to file bugs with nvidia drivers. Please file a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org in the xorg product, drivers/nvidia (proprietary) component. |
