After a while Xorg crashes with the following backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/Xorg(xf86SigHandler+0x87) [0x80b6d07] 1: [0x49a420] 2: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libfb.so [0x155b81] 3: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libfb.so [0x15d923] 4: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libfb.so(fbCompositeGeneral+0x855) [0x15b4e5] 5: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libfb.so(fbComposite+0x1cd) [0x1643ad] 6: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libxaa.so(XAAComposite+0x261) [0xd56001] 7: /usr/bin/Xorg [0x8156d06] 8: /usr/bin/Xorg [0x8153915] 9: /usr/bin/Xorg(CompositePicture+0x153) [0x8140a13] 10: /usr/bin/Xorg [0x814687c] 11: /usr/bin/Xorg [0x8143bd5] 12: /usr/bin/Xorg(Dispatch+0x19a) [0x80869ba] 13: /usr/bin/Xorg(main+0x485) [0x806e3e5] 14: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xdc) [0x4cd7e4] 15: /usr/bin/Xorg(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0xbd) [0x806d721] Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting I'm running an up-to-date Fedora Core Rawhide system (xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.99.901-5) with the open source nv driver an no special settings in the config. This seems to get triggered after a random amount of time when using Firefox and Firefox sometimes shows me random bits of the desktop or parts of images on pages I visited minutes before instead of resized image so I'm wondering if this "random access" of memory might be the reason for this.
Please post your xorg conf and your xorg.log Also please try to get a remote backtrace.
Created attachment 5430 [details] xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log This happened a couple of time now for me in the last couple of days and always with the same trace. What exactly is a remote backtrace and how do I obtain it?
I just tried running Xorg using gdb which worked but when X crashed it caught the SIGSEGV, printed the backtrace and in gdb I only got the backtrace of a followup SIGPIPE. Is there away to tell Xorg to let gdb catch the signal 11 instead?
There is some documentation on running the X server under gdb on the wiki: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/DebuggingTheXserver
Created attachment 5516 [details] gdb backtrace After a few days the crash happened again and this time I had a remote gdb attached. See attachment.
Two observations: 1. XAAComposite() gets called with xSrc=51, ySrc=270 which then calls fbComposite() with xSrc=109, ySrc=4578 which looks odd to me because I see no instructions modifying these variables between those calls. 2. The call to fbComposite() happens right after the patch for bug #4320. (called xorg-x11-server-1.0.1-composite-fastpath-fdo4320.patch in the Fedora Core Rawhide SRPM). Could this patch be responsible for the breakage?

Could be. Should also be unnecessary now in rawhide. The RC2 server build is going through now, give it a try tomorrow. I'd also be interested to know if this is a problem with Composite disabled.
This is still a problem with the package xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.99.902-1. I've disabled Composite now to see if that makes any difference.
Unfortunately I'm still getting hit by this even with Composite disabled.
(In reply to comment #9) > Unfortunately I'm still getting hit by this even with Composite disabled. There's a good shot this is bug #6827. I've built some rawhide RPMs with that patch included at: http://people.freedesktop.org/~ajax/rawhide/ Could you test these?
Thanks, I've installed the RPMs an will check if Xorg runs more stable. I can already report that this fixes the following Firefox bug I reported here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334951 (Resized image displayed as black rectangle)
(In reply to comment #11) > I can already report that this fixes the following Firefox bug I reported here: > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334951 (Resized image displayed as > black rectangle) That's probably justification enough to include this in the release. If I don't hear of any crashes from you before this Friday I'll land this for RC3.
pretty clear that this is a dupe by now. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 6827 ***
