Re: XFree86 crash, Bezier thing (was Re: Is phk rewriting the kernelover the weekend?)
Does this bug effect -stable? It only showed up in -current recently. Isn't it a bigger chance that something on the FreeBSD side made this bug much more visible?

I found this on the Xpert mailinglist: http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/xpert/2002-June/018300.html Seems like this won't get fixed until XFree86 4.3.0, but the bug seems to be in the Type1 font handler only. (a call to abort()) I have removed it from my XFree86 config now, and I'm hoping for no more Bezier crashes :) Mvh, Frode Nordahl To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message -- _ __ ___ ___ ___ ___ Wesley N Morgan _ __ ___ | _ ) __| \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ __ | _ \._ \ |) | FreeBSD: The Power To Serve _ |___/___/___/ Hi!

Yes, i don't see any -stable systems bombing out. But it _always_ occurrs when typing. No matter what app... Sometimes in the linux opera, sometimes in the konq address bar. I dont think it ever happened when typing in an Xterm though.

I hadn't experienced it, so I ignored it. I don't know about that link posted, I thought that was a mozilla bug that was supposed to be fixed. It seems like the bug has been present in XFree86 all the time. But some thing has changed in CURRENT that tickles this bug. I started to experience this after I removed all ports and recompiled XFree86 with the new GCC 3.2.1. X also dies with signal 11 some times, so theres more to it than the Bezier bug. But if it is a CURRENT kernel or compiler issue, I don't understand why / how this should affect -STABLE / -RELEASE. I'll take a backup of my current X installation and do some tests and comparisons against the Aug 24 port build of XFree86. I'll have to find a sure way to reproduce the abort() and / or SIGSEGV failure first though. -- Eric Anholt [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/dri/ -- Mvh, Frode Nordahl -- _ __ ___ ___ ___ ___ Wesley N Morgan _ __ ___ | _ ) __| \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ __ | _ \._ \ |) | FreeBSD: The Power To Serve _ |___/___/___/ Hi!
