Public bug reported:
My X server just crashed. It'd been running for several days, with
compiz enabled using the Nvidia proprietary drivers. I pressed a button
that would have opened a new window, and was immediately dropped to
text-mode until GDM came back. The video card wasn't doing anything
stressful, although I was watching a movie using totem about 3 minutes
before.
I've attached the Xorg.0.log.old file that contains the information, but
the relevant bit of backtrace is:
Backtrace:
0: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x6a) [0x48402a]
1: /lib/libc.so.6 [0x7fc9ecd9d100]
2: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so(_nv000754X+0x6a)
[0x7fc9ea83937a]
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
This is on AMD64, and it's been running in this configuration quite
happily since hardy beta. I don't know if it's relevant, but I am
currently running hardy-proposed. This is the first time I've seen this
crash.
