Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
xorg appears to be segfaulting every night. It doesn't seem to happen
at exactly the same time, so I suspect it's not e.g. an interaction with
a cron job, and maybe has more to do with how long the computer has been
idle. I am running 8.04.2 (recently upgraded from 7.10, under which I
didn't have this problem), and using the "radeonhd" open source driver
(see below).
(I also got nightly segfaults when I was using "fglrx" under 8.04,
although I was never able to get a backtrace on those so I don't know
for a fact that they were the same.)
I am attaching a gdb backtrace, xorg.0.log, xorg.0.log.old, and
xorg.conf. This crash appears to be happening in pixman-image.c.
When the crash happens I get returned to the gdm login screen, and I can
re-log-in without problems, but of course any applications that I was
running at the time are unreachable and have to be manually killed.
Thanks to anyone that can help!
