Thanks Buchan. I apologize for the tone of my post. I really should have followed my personal mantra about email: step away, reflect, then post. It however, felt like I was not getting any kind of confirmation that this bug is a real issue though. When another Cooker posted that the reports were invalid, it infuriated me since the bug is most definitely there. (with the most recent system.) The most recent aspect of the 1160/3126 bug reports (which are slowing up determining the other problems) are that the module versions are wrong. I realize that there is very little chance that the DRI module could be THAT old however. Thus I think that the test for the module may be erroneous. Once that is fixed and I'll be able to load the DRI module again, I will continue to work on the DRM logout issue until the culprit is found and fixed. I am trying very hard to test this issue thoroughly. I've been talking to the XFree86 project development members that are responsible for the radeon driver and the only things I'm getting from them is that the bug doesn't occur for them. However, the one who responded there isn't even running an ix86 machine to test on. :( As near as I can tell, and please bear with me since I'm not a kernel hacker, the DRI module is to blame. I theorize that when the window manager tries to SIGHUP the running server, something in the code causes a race that bombs the kernel's IO subsystem, thus the reason that we aren't getting any opps or core information. I know that this problem DIDN'T occur under XFree86 4.2.1 at any time with the 7500 R100 Radeons, however. The only time this occurs is when the DRI module is loaded and active. - -- Gary L.
