Dear list!
First, thanks to everybody involved for keeping Window Maker alive!
On my Clamshell iBook (G3 PowerPC) I have installed Debian Wheezy,
X.org and Window Maker. Now when I issue "startx", I see the clip
appear and vanish again, then a window is shown with: Fatal error,
Window Maker received signal 11. I can chose to abort and leave a core
file, restart Window Maker, or start an alternate window manager.
I have requested the core file, but can't find it. If I choose to
restart Window Maker, the clip appears again for a short time, and this
time also the Debian wallpaper, but then I'm thrown back to the console
immediately.
Here you can see my Xorg.0.log file: paste.opensuse.org/view/687dea3e
But it doesn't have any errors.
If I issue "xinit", the X server starts and shows xterm instead of
Window Maker without a problem. So the X server seems to work.
My X.Org version is 1.12.4. My Window Maker version is 0.95.3-2.
Any hint is appreciated. How can I find out the reason for the problem?
if you perhaps follow the debian ppc mailing list, you may have read
that Xorg has some serious problems on the ATI card of the iBook, I have
one too. Many application can crash the X server, including all cairo
based apps and gtk apps (e.g. browser, mail...).
A clean WindowMaker starts, although the fonts show mangled, but perhaps
you have something else in your session that causes the crash.
A plain xterm causes no crash, this is why xinit works for you. I would
point. A patch floats around and I asked the list on how I can try it out.
Your Xorg.log doesn't seem to show any related error, the server crashes
later.
If you have access to another computer with X11, you might try exporting
display and launching windowmaker, it will most probably work.
