I then press CTRL-ALT-F7 and it freezes. That's expected. The VT switch requires the cooperation of the X server, but it's blocked waiting for input in gdb (because it involves sending SIGUSR1 to X). And even handle SIGUSR1 nostop won't be enough, since once you've crashed X you'll want to get back to gdb, which involves a new VT switch with X blocked waiting for input in gdb.

Err... then I tried CTRL-ALT-DELETE, it jumped quickly to the desktop and then back to the terminal as it shut down. I have no idea what this means.

Okay, I was able to start debugging it with the -core option in the X startup instead and now I can't get it to crash. I guess close this bug report. We can open it if it crashes again, and I'll get the core dump next time.

Hi Jeremy. Cyril Brulebois k...@debian.org (16/01/2011): if you're talking about the backtrace in the X log, that's normal, that's what glibc's backtrace() gives.

reassign 608162 xserver-xorg-video-intel thanks Hi, Le lundi 27 décembre 2010 à 21:17 -0500, Jeremy Salwen a écrit : After enabling compositing in metacity (by using gconf-editor), the X server will repeatedly crash when I start up certain applications. Thanks for your report. Please always report crashes against the package containing the program that crashes. In this case, the X server. Compositing will work when enabled, and for some applications it seems fine. However, it will crash the X server when some applications are started. Quadrapassel and glxgears will crash the X server immediately. Chromium- browser will first open up a window, but then crash within half a second while it appears to be attempting to resize itself. All of these work fine when compositing is not enabled. So it crashes as soon as it uses 3D. As a reminder for X maintainers: metacity uses RENDER compositing, not 3D. It’s never been a furiously fast compositor, but it usually works fine, especially on Intel which has the best 2D acceleration out there. I get a backtrace from the X server, which I will try to attach. I installed the xserver-xorg-core-dbg, as well as a libmesa-dri (or something like that) dbg package, but the backtraces I'm getting still don't list function names. -- .''`. : :' : “You would need to ask a lawyer if you don't know `. `' that a handshake of course makes a valid contract.” `--- J???rg Schilling -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
