Description Adam Jackson 2004-08-05 17:49:16 UTC
quake3 and ut are good testcases.  sometimes, on exiting the app, the server
will crash.  doesn't appear to be strictly GL related according to the
backtrace, so filing this under the server.

full backtrace from such a crash

somewhere between xf86CursorSetCursor and TDFXUseHWCursor, pScreen becomes
NULL.  magic!
Comment 2 Paolo Ornati 2004-11-28 02:29:47 UTC
this happens also to me but only when I move the mouse during resolution switch

As already said by Ajax it seems related to GL apps (I can't trigger the BUG
with CTRL + ALT + "+"... but I can with Tuxracer for example)

PS = I see this starting from 6.8.0 (ok, I'm using Gentoo patched Xorg-x11 so I
don't know if this BUG really comes with 6.8.0, I only suspect this since all
6.7.0-rX I've tried work fine)

I am getting this problem when using radeon drivers.
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.5.7-1

The only way I've found to stop it is to switch to a vterm and kill the app
directly instead of closing it.

I don't know how to get a usable backtrace from this, but if anyone needs one I
am happy to try.

i always get a SDL-Parachute depployed after ending apps like tuxracer or
tuxkart. some exit cleanly but many have to be killed afterwards from console so
the screen/X becomes usable again

An application crash is not the same thing as an X server crash.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
Comment 7 Daniel Stone 2007-04-07 14:30:48 UTC
ajax, is this still valid?
Comment 8 Adam Jackson 2008-06-25 13:34:28 UTC
I haven't even tried to repro this in a while.  It wouldn't surprise me if it were still there, but meh.
