Ok, I installed gdb, downloaded the latest 66482 from svn. Followed the wiki and rebuilt the EFLs after export CFLAG=-g. Now I'm stuck. From the wiki it seems that I should start e, then when it crashes start gdb and break on _e_randr_crtc_info_set. Not sure how to do that. Help appreciated. But, e never crashes though. What happens is that I'll run startx from vt1, and then in vt1 there are a series of messages like I included earlier in the file called "start-results". The messages say "Enlightenment relocation handling", then many ESTART messages, then "Enlighenment relocation handling" again, followed by the same ESTART messages, then "<Enlightenment Error> A previous instance of Enlightenment is still active on this screen. Aborting startup." And then it repeats this process over and over until there's a final error and X shuts down. So there doesn't seem to be a PID of enlightenment to run gdb on. I guess. I've never really run gdb before. Any suggestions/hints would be appreciated, I'm willing to try and help track down the problem with this damn ATI hardware. > mike >>> >>> >>> On Dec 23, 2011, at 3:52 AM, Andrea Suisani wrote: >>> >>>> Hi all, >>>> >>>> sorry for not being able to join >>>> the irc debug session last evening... >>>> >>>> though it seems we have have narrowed >>>> the problem down to a peculiar comibination >>>> of HW (ATI HD 5770/5750), e17 ver, >>>> xorg version and x org drivere version. >>>> >>>> just trying get a more clear picture >>>> I'm running X.Org X Server 1.10.4 >>>> with fglrx used as video driver (defined >>>> in xorg.conf) installed using >>>> >>>> apt-get install fglrx-updates >>>> >>>> on an ubuntu box ver 11.10, that's >>>> the output of uname -a: >>>> >>>> Linux suino 3.0.0-14-server #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:49:05 UTC 2011 >>>> x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux >>>> >>>> Mike what's your xorg version and >>>> which driver are you using for your >>>> 5770? >>>> >>>> I'm going to try to configure my Xorg >>>> dropping the binary only driver and using >>>> instead the one provided by: >>>> >>>> xserver-xorg-video-radeon >>>> >>>> i.e. >>>> >>>> http://www.x.org/wiki/radeon >>>> >>>> I'll report back >>>> >>>> >>>> Andrea >>>> >>>> On 12/22/2011 08:49 PM, mh wrote: >>>>> Leif, >>>>> >>>>> Following up on our irc session today: I deleted >>>>> /opt/e17/lib/enlightenment/conf_randr and restarted e.
