I just got a second laptop that allowed me to do this Backtracing. Never did it before so plz tell me if i did something wrong.
Sick machine: boots up, i rotate the screen. remote machine: loggin into sick machine, starting gdb: (gdb) attach 5432 Attaching to program: /usr/bin/Xorg, process 5432 . . . (gdb) cont Continuing. sick machine: i start playing a video with the display being rotated, totem is using xv. Now the display shows a solid color but i can hear the sound of the video. The color seems to be random, currently its all purple, last time it was all blue and i remember seeing all white. Playing the video does not give any new output in gdb, it still shows: (gdb) cont Continuing. Now i enter ctrl+c in gdb to abort Xorg (im not sure why ctrl+c in gdb aborts xorg on the sick machine). The output of gdb is Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. [Switching to Thread 0xb7c8aa30 (LWP 5432)] 0xb7fa9410 in __kernel_vsyscall () but the video keeps playing for a couple of seconds until it stops. The screen is still all purple. Hitting ctrl+alt+backspace does not change that and i have to reboot the machine. -- xv video freezes computer if display is rotated [GMA945] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219846 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
