Description Marcin Kurek 2006-05-20 01:46:32 UTC
Testing current Xorg CVS head I was hit by a weird problem. Xorg-server is
crashing when firefox is in use.

On some pages firefox cause xserver to crash for example www.benchmark.pl cause
this problem (Not always)

Firefox: 1.5.0.3
Xorg-server: CVS head from 19.05.2006
Radeon drivers: 15.05.2006
Kernel 2.6.16
Pegasos II machine with 1GB of ram and 1GHz G4 cpu.
Radeon 9000 128/128/DVI/VIVO 

I can observe this when using XAA for now as I am unable to use EXA because a
diffrent bug (#6811)

Looking at the log I noticed something new here.

(EE) RADEON(0): Setting pPriv->adjustment to 0

I can't remember to have such message inthe past.

i think im possabily hitting this bug also
but for me galeon/firefox just dies and x server is ok
my setup is all xorg 7.1 and just updated the ati driver to git
i find using gmail causes it to die as does the benchmark.pl url
in orignal report
the error below is all i get
nothing in xorg logs or dmesg
video card is radeon 9600 kernel 2.6.18-rc3 and 2.6.17.3 did same
galeon is 2.0.1 using firefox 1.5.0.5
firefox alone dies also
athlon64 desktop system is the computer


18:17:56: xEmbed supported in this Mozilla version
18:17:56: Gtk2+ supported in this Mozilla version
The program 'galeon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 22 error_code 8 request_code 145 minor_code 5)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I used git bisect to track down my headache and found the below
reverted it on head and I no longer have the problem I described

    Prefer visuals with stencil when it's hardware acclerated.

    Also make the formatting of the if statements consistent.

Weird, not sure why Firefox would care about GLX visuals. Are you using gnash or
some other Firefox plugin that uses OpenGL?

Anyway, it's unlikely that an X server crash and an app crash is the same bug.
Comment 7 Bret Towe 2006-08-06 13:58:34 UTC
yeah I do have gnash installed

while I agree that it is remote the chance of the 2 of them being related
I dont want to discount it yet as morgoth is using xorg cvs and I am
only running -git of the ati driver nothing else

assuming this doesnt help morgoth any should I open a new bug on my issue?

> yeah I do have gnash installed

You could be hitting a gnash/Firefox bug then.

> assuming this doesnt help morgoth any should I open a new bug on my issue?

Yes please.
Comment 9 Michel Dänzer 2006-08-06 15:37:16 UTC
morgoth, does this still happen with the X server built against current Mesa CVS?
Comment 10 Marcin Kurek 2006-08-26 13:26:12 UTC
Again I doesn't get any e-mail about new posts here :/ Ech ... I am unable to
reproduce this problem with recent server && mesa.
