In the current version xserver-xorg-core 2:1.7.6-2ubuntu7 Option NoTrapSignals works correctly. I use Kubuntu and I have created a file /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-server.conf to give the option (but there are of course many other possible places)
In /var/log/Xorg.0.log you can see the difference when the server crashes. By default there is a backtrace, with the NoTrapSignals there is none. Also in gdb you can see the difference. After a SEGV you can continue without the option (the handlers will be run and then Xorg will exit). With NoTrapSignal you cannot continue after a SEGV, the process has already been terminated. -- [Lucid] Option NoTrapSignals ignored when debugging xserver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532845 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
