Package: xorg Version: 1:7.1.0-11 Hello, In the past two weeks, Xorg seems to crash randomly on my Debian Etch machine. It can work for an hour and up to 4 or 5 hours, and then suddenly it crashes. It also seems to happen, when the screen changes. When I am not working on this computer, it will not crash.
I asked this in mailing lists, forums and the debian IRC channel, and finally was told all I can do is file this bug. The hardware is, a Pentium 4 with a GeForce 6800 GS AGP video card. I'm using this setup, for 4 months, without problems(*), it only appeared recently, and I believe it was after upgrading some X related packages (don't recall which). This problem occurs with both the free nv driver and the proprietary nvidia driver. I tried different kernels, tried downgrading to previous version of Xorg (using snapshot.debian.net), but nothing worked. It also should be noted, that running a live CD of Ubuntu Dapper for a whole day, did not result in a crash. (*) When I first upgraded to Xorg 7.1 from 7.0, I had the exact same problem, because I didn't upgrade all packages to 7.1. Now however, it does not seem to be this way, all packages are upgraded. The thread I opened can be viewed in the following URL: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=78275 I get a back trace in the xorg logs: Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x84) [0x80c4354] 1: [0xb7f83420] 2: /usr/bin/X(Dispatch+0x81) [0x8086b91] 3: /usr/bin/X(main+0x489) [0x806e699] 4: /lib/tls/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xc8) [0xb7d73ea8] 5: /usr/bin/X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0xa9) [0x806d9d1] Fatal server error: Caught signal 11.
