Funnies with gnome and X on 1.92

[Neil Thompson]

Hi all,

Is anyone else having an interesting time with Gnome/xorg?  I'm
having a couple of regular, but intermittant problems -

.  a total freeze (normally after moving the mouse) I have to then
   reboot the box, this gives an error message in /var/log/messages 

     gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0

   I see no other messages in the gdm or X logs

.  gnome-session-save intermittantly doesn't work and freezes X
   to duplicate this, start up a terminal and open up a bunch of 
   tabbed sessions inside it.  Type gnome-session-save and bang!

These are on two different boxen with different display cards.  Are
these worth a bugzilla?


Cheers! (Relax...have a homebrew)

The newest kernels have fixed several ugly DRI bugs that might be 
relevant especially on intel i8xx hardware

I'm on 2.6.5-1.349.  One of the boxes is an intel (Dell GX270), the other
is a homebrew box with a Radeon 9200SE in an AGP8X slot.

Had a system lockup late last night (homebrew Athlon 1GHz on Abit
KT7A-RAID, ATI All-in-wonder 8500 - far behind yours :-) after upgrading
to latest kernel, but before rebooting, when attempting Ctrl-Alt-F1 to
change from X to a VC.  Screen turned gray and no response from
keyboard/mouse, including Ctrl-Alt-Fx, Ctrl-Alt-Bksp, Ctrl-Alt-Del.  Hit
the power and went to bed so didn't look at logs.

I have the same problem (also intermittantly) when Ctrl-Alt-F1ing to a VC, 
sounds like there is an issue.

Hmmm...

If it still happens with the latest kernel, deserves a Bugzilla.  Will
try to beat on it tonight myself.  Can you duplicate the problem?

Yes, even yesterday, glxgears and tuxracer killed my machine. After
today's update including kernel .350, they both work. I was getting
nervous.
