greets ... As mentioned lately in another thread I moved to amd64 unstable last week.
So far OK ... but: I see X11 crashing repeatedly but I don't have a clue what component might be the reason. Sometimes my gnome-session (2.28) works for hours, sometimes for minutes. It crashes when starting a new program like opera, firefox, thunderbird, amarok, ... something .... I don't have a clear way to reproduce the crash and the logs don't tell me anything. --> I rebuilt xorg-server, xorg-drivers, xf86-input-* .... opera, etc I re-emerged @system overnight, ran revdep-rebuild, lalefixer etc (yeah, I know, X11 isn't @system ... but just to do the basement right) I use nvidia-drivers here, so I also did "eselect opengl ..." again. I erased xorg.conf and redid it via nvidia-xconfig ... and changed it to use absolute coordinates, as the xorg-server-1.7 seems to have issues with "LeftOf" ... Additional info: I use compiz and xinerama ... two monitors ... might add some problems. The two monitors are the reason for still using xorg.conf with xorg-server-1.7.x (maybe there's a better solution? I don't know yet). bugs.gentoo.org doesn't show anything describing my issues, I hesitate to file a bug as long as the symptoms are that vague ... Some clues, someone? There were NO such crashes before moving to full ~amd64, I ran xorg-server-1.6 before (mixing stable and unstable ...). Simply going back to xorg-server-1.6 ? Thanks a lot, Stefan.
