Package: xserver-xorg-video-nv Version: 1:2.1.10-1 Severity: normal I got a complete machine crash when shutting down KDE, when kdm should have showed. I was able to reproduce this every time I tried on this install. I'm able to reproduce on other lenny installs on the same machine. I'm able to reproduce with all versions supporting my card I tried, going back as far as 2.1.3. The machine stops responding to pings. Ctrl+Alt+Del (or maybe pressing some other keys) can cause the machine to reboot after a few seconds. This also happens with GNOME instead of KDE and xdm instead of kdm. This does not happen when not using a display manager.
I was unable to reproduce with other GNU/Linux distributions. I tried Mandriva Linux, Fedora and PCLinuxOS, using versions 2.1.8 and 2.1.10. I'm therefore not sure that this is an upstream bug, but it does look like https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15238 I didn't feel like installing Slackware to try reproducing though. The only difference is that the screen is different. I get a mostly black screen except for 2 incomplete lines with text characters. At least one of those lines flashes. This machine uses VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600M GT (rev a1). This uses the NB8P chipset. I was unable to reproduce on 1 other machine I tried, although the card is very different (GeForce 4). I have no similar card to try reproducing. I was unable to reproduce with the vesa and nvidia drivers. --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 Debian Release: lenny/sid 990 testing security.debian.org 990 testing debian.savoirfairelinux.net 500 unstable debian.savoirfairelinux.net --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ================================-+-=========== libc6 (>= 2.7-1) | 2.7-13 xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.4) | 2:1.4.2-3 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
