This was going to be a question for help about why, 3 times in the
last 4 days, I've left this system (running lxdm, logged in to xfce)
and come back to the login screen. I've proved that it isn't
happening every time xscreensaver cuts in, ConsoleKit is running,
but I have avoided PAM.
But when I was writing a mail about that, I looked at Xorg.log.old
and saw there had been a segfault in /usr/libexec/Xorg.bin, possibly
in the intel_drv module. :-(
This is with xf86-video-intel-2.99.914 and the options we used to
use (something about drm3 was changed for the current driver).
Until now I haven't used a desktop environment, nor a desktop
manager, but I wanted to see if this would look like a viable thing
to run on my netbook which is still struggling with ubuntu. I've
certainly seen occasional Xorg segfaults in the past few months,
more on ati than intel, and I thought they were all on -rc kernels,
but not sure. Whatever, they seemed to be infrequent.
So - I suppose I will have to build the newer intel driver and see
if that helps. Meanwhile, this is a placeholder in case anybody
else is seeing Xorg segfaults in -rc6 with the 3.16.2 kernel.
On my ATI (Aruba) box Xorg seems fine, I haven't built 7.6 on my
other ATI at the moment (still building libreoffice on the slow
one).
At the risk of summoning "the wee folk", I have not had any more
problems since I moved to 2.99.916 and I have used this machine a
lot during hte last couple of days.
Seems to work for me too.
