Bug#864998: Acknowledgement (xserver-xorg-video-qxl: Segault at login (at res change?))

2017-07-07 Thread Dr. David Alan Gilbert
I installed the debug symbols for the X server and captured with gdb:

Bug#864998: xserver-xorg-video-qxl: Segault at login (at res change?)

2017-06-18 Thread Dr. David Alan Gilbert
Package: xserver-xorg-video-qxl
Version: 0.1.4+20161126git4d7160c-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?
  Debian 9 fresh install in QEMU, qxl video; KDE desktop
  It worked on first boot, but crashed on 2nd login.
  I suspect the difference is that I switched screen res,
  which worked fine during the session; doesn't seem to want to 
  afterwards though

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
  See the x log below

   * What was the outcome of this action?
  Can't log back into my KDE session
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
  A happy KDE session

This qemu is running on Fedora 26; other guests are working so I think the bug 
here
is in the X qxl driver.

Dave

Bug#712514: Some more debug

2013-07-18 Thread Dr. David Alan Gilbert
I've rebuilt xorg-server withnostrip nocheck noopt
and added a load of debug, with that the backtrace shows

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0020 in ?? ()
(gdb) where
#0  0x0020 in ?? ()
#1  0x2a09b5f0 in xf86SIGIO (sig=707031856)
at ../../../../../hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/../shared/sigio.c:121
Backtrace stopped: previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)
(gdb) q

which seems to make sense, because it's happening as I touch and
the sigio seems to be bubbling touch events through evdev.

I've added a load of debug and it does seem to be getting to the end
of the sigio routine, just not returning properly (that line 121 is
the resteration of the errno); I've also added loads of debug to
Evdev, again it seems to be going through the motions ok.

here is my (rather cryptic) debug I've added for the last of the
events that happened before it died.

Given that's in a signal handler perhaps the rest of the stack is fine;
it's just the return data that's had it.

Bug#598390: workaround

2011-06-19 Thread Dr. David Alan Gilbert
Hi,
  A fairly grim workaround is to disable hardware acceleration in
Flash; right click on it and using the settings pane click on the
tick next to 'Enable hardware acceleration'.

That gets me working full screen - it's faster than what I get
with nomodesetting but still somewhat grim.

Bug#260104: xserver-common: Too many server config files?

2004-08-14 Thread Dr. David Alan Gilbert
Hi,
  Thanks for your reply;

As an observation there are a lot of different places that the Xserver
  is configured and that this complicates the process of finding errors in
  the configuration - the ones I'm aware of are:
  
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
/etc/X11/serverconfig
 
 I'm not familiar with this one.

Hmm - actually this one appears to be a mistake on my part - it appears to
be from the Nautilus package - why exactly it felt it needs
to create a 'serverconfig' directory in /etc/X11 is beyond me.
(It is empty except for a .directory file with 
Server Settings, Configure network services

translated into a vast number of languages).
Although it might not have been unreasonable to think that something
called serverconfig in the /etc/X11 directory might have something
to do with the X server.

/etc/X11/xserver
 
 This is a directory, not a file...at least on my system.

Yep it's a directory for me as well containing a SecurityPolicy
file - and I assume that others are also read from the same place?

/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
  
  and probably some to do with particular display managers as well.
  It seems to be that it would be nice to slim some of these down if
  possible.
 
 Pretty difficult without deviating from upstream practice.

Fair enough - thank you for passing this upstream.

 All config files should have manual pages.  If you identify any that don't,
 please see if the bug has been reported, and file a report if it it has
 not.
 
  Dave (having just helped someone with a DPI problem)
 
 Are you aware of:
 
 http://necrotic.deadbeast.net/xsf/XFree86/trunk/debian/local/FAQ.xhtml#fontswrongsize
 
 ?

I wasn't - thank you; what that doesn't mention is that also it can be
changed due to interactions with DDC from the monitor; I suspect (but
don't know) that if DDC can't be read then it falls back to some
defaults; so I think there are weird interactions such as what happens
if you let a machine boot to X and then switch the monitor on
or have it going through a KVM.  Forcing the DPI and disabling DDC
seems to be a way to get a saner more consistent behaviour.
(In addition I'm never really convinced X really likes running
at anything other than one of 75 or 100 dpi what with older
bitmap fonts).

Thanks again for your reply,

Dave

4.3.0-0pre1v5: Intermittent loss of 3D

2004-01-17 Thread Dr. David Alan Gilbert
Hi,
  Hardware: Radeon R100 QD [Radeon 7200] on a Dual Athlon MP Tyan S2460
  Installation: Sid with 4.3.0-0pre1v5 from experimental

Hi,
  4.3.0-0pre1v5 seems mostly happy for me (and the sid X was working
fine); but I'm having intermittent 3D problems.  I normally run one of
the OpenGL screen savers and it works OK most of the time, but sometimes
it will suddenly stop working.  I've seen this occur in the middle of an
animation, and also just when I come to launch it next time.

Now, when it has got into this state, if I start glxgears from the
command line I get the window but no contents.  Glxinfo still says
it is running direct.

I've seen this revert to working again without restarting X or anything.
There don't seem to be any errors or messages in /var/log/XFree86.0.log
when this stops working, or in any system logs.

Dave
P.S. xrestop is funky - very nice.

Hi,
  Should have closed this - it started working again a few months ago;
can't remember which version actually fixed it, but its a happy GL
X server now.

Thanks,

Dave

Bug#196554: xlibs: todays update causes every app to report Xlib: connection to :0.0 refused by server

 I don't see why downgrading xlibs-{dev,pic} would help anything at all;
 you should be able to re-upgrade those and not change the way your
 system behaves in this regard.
 
 Can you confirm these two hypotheses for me?

Well I haven't quit X throughout this process; so I doubt its the
server.

If I do:

apt-get install xlibs=4.2.1-7

I'm back to the situation of being unable to run clients and then if I
do:

apt-get install xlibs=4.2.1-6 xlibs-dev=4.2.1-6 xlibs-pic=4.2.1-6

I can run the clients again.

Note the X server has been running since Saturday morning before I ran
the upgrade that got me 4.2.1-7. Its a kdm session I'm in.

 By the way, the reason this broke is because of GCC 3.3 (read the
 package changelog).  I was hoping they wouldn't get it wrong on i386,
 but I guess I was mistaken.

I guess it could be kdm/the server/the libraries disagreeing and that
its just a matter of the two being the same - so perhaps a new library
would work with a authority file created by a new server/kdm/whatever ?

2003-06-07 Thread Dr. David Alan Gilbert
Hi,
  Yep - this also happens here - (sid on x86, Radeon); note that
I can confirm it is xlibs since doing:

apt-get install xlibs=4.2.1-6 xlibs-dev=4.2.1-6 xlibs-pic=4.2.1-6

gets me a working X again.
