is this with composite enabled? Yes, exactly... composite enabled. I played with it several days ago and didn't imagine it could be the cause of this trouble. But, it could be filed as a x.org composite bug, am I right? =D Thanks for the advice!! Disabling the Composite extension in the xorg.conf file fixes this bug. (Composite is experimental!) Argh My mozilla crashes the same. How can I disable composite? It seems to be enabled by default. I have no entries in my xorg.conf for it and Option "Composite" "Disable" isn't working too. I am using Xorg 6.8.0-r3 and mozilla-1.7.3-r3 my USE flags are: USE="recode video_cards_mach64 gtk gnome alsa aalib acpi adns aim apache2 apm arts audiofile avi bash-completion bidi bmp bzlib calendar cdr cross crypt cscope ctype cups curl curlwrappers dbm dbx dedicated dga dio directfb divx4linux dvd dvdr emacs emacs-w3 encode esd ethereal evo exif fastcgi fbcon flac flash ftp gb gd gdbm ggi gif gmp gnome gnustep gnutls gphoto2 gpm gps gtk gtk2 gtkhtml icq imagemagic imap imlib inifile ipv6 jabber jack java jpeg kde ladcca lcms libwww lirc mad maildir mbox mcal memlimit mhash mikmod milter mime ming mmap mmx mng motif mozilla mpeg mpi msession msn mysql nas ncurses netboot nis nls odbc oggvorbis openal opengl oscar oss pcmcia pcntl pda pcre pdflib perl php pic pie png pnp portaudio posix postgres ppds python qt quicktime readline recode ruby samba sasl scanner sdl session shared sharedmem simplexml slang slp sndfile snmp sockets socks5 sox speex spell spl sqlite sse ssl svg svga sysvipc szip tcltk tcpd tetex theora tidy tiff tokenizer truetype unicode usb vhosts videos wavelan wmf wxwindows xface xine xinerama xml xml2 xmlrpc xmms xosd xpm xprint xv xvid yahoo zlib insecure-driver" I had the same problem, toggling the composite option in x.org solved it: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection Marking as fixed since a workaround has been discovered. There are env variables which can also be used to prevent errors such as this, but this issue is related to the Composite extension, which is experimental and off-by-default right now. Browse Gentoo forums for some workarounds to this issue in the meantime. By the time compositing becomes stable, upstream products will probably have demonstrated a lot more support. |
