I am using X-4.1.0 (XFree86-4.1.0-21mdk with linux mandrake-8.1) on S3 KM133 prosavage video (driver version 1.1.20).
I compiled and ran a small program (about 150 lines) as follows: * download from http://freshmeat.net/projects/xvattr/ the file http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~dvd/dist/xvattr-1.1.tgz * Run all these commands as a non-root user -> tar -zxf xvattr-1.1.tgz; cd xvattr; make; * Now run this as a non-root user -> ./xvattr -a XV_BRIGHTNESS -v 10 The system will hang (manual reset required). I am stressing the "non-root user" just to indicate that u don't have to have root access to do cause the hang (which could be a security issue as well). Further investigations revealed that calls to the functions XvSetPortAttribute and XvGetPortAttribute are causing the lockup. Each function is being called only once (after line 130) and either call alone is capable of causing the hang. thanks - Nil _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
