Hello,
a bug with xorg segfaulting on the 6.1.1 CD has been recently reported
on IRC:
(16:36:35) snik: hello
(16:36:47) patrakov: hello there
(16:37:08) snik: ive got this card
(16:37:09) snik: # lspci | grep Radeon
(16:37:11) snik: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc
Radeon Mobility M6 LY
(16:37:22) patrakov: lspci -n please
(16:37:27) snik: when starting x with ati/radeon drivers it sigfaults
(16:37:55) snik: simply paste in here?
(16:38:11) patrakov: yes, the line containing 01:00.0
(16:38:27) snik: 01:00.0 Class 0300: 1002:4c59
(16:38:49) patrakov: thanks. Anything in dmesg after that?
(16:39:03) snik: no, dmesg is fine.. xorg.log too..
(16:39:18) snik: this bug appears when xorg is compiled with gcc 3.4x
(16:39:27) snik: on gentoo the same..
(16:39:48) snik: i build lfs-svn on my notebook and there is everything ok
(16:39:55) snik: with gcc-4
I _think_ that the following patch (from Debian and Ubuntu) can fix the
problem. But, as I don't have exactly the same card, I can't test.
Should this be added to the livecd repository?
