Description Simon C. Ion 2008-11-28 11:08:56 UTC
Xorg crashes on startup when using xf86-video-ati-6.8.0-r1 (or xf86-video-ati-6.9.0) and the Xinerama extension is enabled in xorg.conf.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable the Xinerama server flag
2. run 'startx'
3. Watch the crash!

Actual Results:  
Monitor makes "resolution changing" noise, then I get dumped to console with information about crash.

Expected Results:  
X.org up and running.

I'm using an AGP Radeon X850. I've nothing in /etc/portage/package.keywords... everything on this system is from Gentoo's stable x86 branch. I've built xf86-video-ati with the "debug" USE flag.

xorg.conf which triggers the crash.

Removing 'Option "Xinerama" "true"' from the attached file stops the crashing.

gdb backtrace from running 'gdb Xorg' as root

x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6 has now been compiled with the 'debug' USE flag.
Comment 6 Simon C. Ion 2008-12-03 11:21:33 UTC
It seems that a Debian user is having this issue with a development version of the driver and a newer version of xorg-server.

Hi Simon,

Can you still reproduce this bug with the latest stable versions of xorg-server and xf86-video-ati?

If you can, please don't hesitate to reopen this bug.

Thanks
