Hello everyone, After the latest emerge and an update to the nvidia drivers I'm getting an xf86SigHandler+0x85 crash on the x server. I tried backing off to the older nvidia drivers all the way back to the 8776 which previous worked and nothing worked. When I do a mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup and the server defaults to the nv driver it works just fine. This makes me suspect the nvidia driver could be at fault. I'm using the 2.6.19.1 kernel. I tried searching through the bug lists but I couldn't find anything to help.

The same happened on my machine, if Xorg works more then hour, Xorg is crashed with: Backtrace: 0: X(xf86SigHandler+0x85) [0x80bf3c5] Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting

signal 11 errors in drivers are very much a very specific system hardware issue. This issue is not something we at Gentoo are going to be able to magically fix. The issue is that the nvidia driver, which only ships in a binary format, is failing during handling of signals, which are directly tied to hardware interrupts This could be specific to the make and model of video card you have (i.e. they differed from the nVidia reference design and as such the memory position is available at a different address and the drivers don't take that into account), which is why in the Windows world you are always advises to use the drivers shipped by your video card manufacture. However, in Linux we can only use what nVidia ships since no manufacture ships their own driver. This being said, your only real recourse is to contact nVidia with specific make/model information and attempt to see if they can reproduce it. Other places to search for information are the nvidia forums for other users that have issues with the same make/model video card. Now I know I'm blaming the video card a lot here, however a signal 11 isn't necessary a video card. It could be your processor, your motherboard, your RAM, your sound card all doing something wrong. A voltage could be off here or there. It's very specific and very localized to your system. While several people have reported this issue, it is possible that it's specific issues in everyone's case is a hardware issue, it's also possible that it's a software issue inside nVidia's driver itself. All in all, signal 11 issues are nearly impossible for developers to debug since they're typically hardware issues. The only fixes are to work around the hardware issue in software. However to do that full debugging backtraces need to be provided. Since the nVidia driver only ships in a binary format, you're really out of luck to have anyone outside of nVidia help debug the issue and provide a software work around. For more information about signal 11 use Google and just type that in. Links such as these will explain it further. http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/ http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=signal+11&btnG=Google+Search
