well, now the server doesn't even start; snippet from my XFree log: (==) ADB 3-Button MouseMan Mouse: Buttons: 3 (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "ADB 3-Button MouseMan Mouse" (type: MOUSE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap (II) Server_Terminate keybinding not found (II) ADB 3-Button MouseMan Mouse: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded
the only difference was my commenting out calling xmodmap in my ~/.xsession to load an an modmap file. i suspect the above was going on, but the terminal output was just giving the "Couldn't ..." line, plus a "Segmentation fault". Aug 26 05:24:37 nuit kernel: grsec: signal 11 sent to (xkbcomp:13626) UID(1000) EUID(1000), parent (sh:31040) UID(1000) EUID(1000) Aug 26 05:24:37 nuit kernel: grsec: attempted resource overstep by requesting 4096 for RLIMIT_CORE against limit 0 by (xkbcomp:13626) UID(1000) EUID(1000), parent (sh:31040) UID(1000) EUID(1000) per grsec's logging of the signal. it's going to dump core, but doesn't. not that unusual; what *is* unusual is the xkbcomp's SEGV sig. (/me goes to test this wacky theory...) nope. no go. it isn't that. the behaviour is like this. 1. i type startx and hit return, it lanuches; 2. the monitor does its dance of switching off and back on, seemingly going to load up the xserver's output; 3. it aborts abruptly, no other messages than that SEGV; 4. i get dropped into console again. the only outright error i get is: (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPAN_DISPLAY: Invalid argument everything else is either a WW or the usual normal ** -- II == stuff. i've tried reinstalling xlibs-data and xserver-xfree86. no go. same for xserver-common. outta ideas, and too tired to care eric -- ##-----------------------------------------------------------------## | ,''`. http://www.debian.org/ | http://www.nuit.ca/ | | : :' : Debian GNU/Linux | http://simonraven.nuit.ca/ | | `. `' | PGP key ID: 6169 BE0C 0891 A038 | | `- | | ##-----------------------------------------------------------------## -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d? s+:- a C++ UL+++ P+ L+++ E- W+++ N+ o K- w--- O M++ V-- PS+++ PE Y++ PGP++ 5+ X+ R* tv b+ DI+ D+ G e* h--- r+++ y+ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------
