Hello X developers, I am writing this message to point your attention to a serious bug that has been in X server since the 1.9 release, where starting _any_ QT app (and some tcl/tk ones like fontforge) would _immediately_ crash the entire X server, but only if Xinerama was enabled. I myself experienced this bug on my dual monitors. Fortunately, I have already posted a patch, but it seems an email/mailing list hiccup (my fault with Gmail) placed it in the wrong thread.
Patch: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2010-October/014150.html Actual thread: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2010-October/014149.html Please merge this patch into the next release xserver release. It is only a 1-liner change that fixes a 1-liner typo. This patch has already been tested and used successfully by end-users at Arch Linux, Ubuntu, Gentoo, etc. Bug report: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30943 Further discussions: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=106125 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/650539 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339135 -Linus _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
