This is one of the most idiotic bugs I've ever encountered in my life. SL5.3, netinstalled on an old laptop with a Savage video card, works just fine, until I installed rxvt-unicode from EPEL.
Now, urxvt works when you use it, but it crashes the whole X server when you close urxvt! (System keyboard frozen, must use ssh from a different host.) The key was to disable "glx", but WHY? This used to work in the past! Details & fury: http://beranger.org/v3/wordpress/2009/04/03/how-can-urxvt-crash-the-xorg- server-yes-it-does-that/ aka: http://beranger.org/v3/wordpress/?p=1352 Of course, I can't report it as a bug. TUV wouldn't even believe it... and EPEL is not a supported repo, no matter the bug is in "savage". X.Org is such a mess... :-(((( Rgds, R-C
