Just installed xserver-xfree86-dbg to find out what's messing up my X
session.
Here's relevant part of the package description:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Package: xserver-xfree86-dbg
Description: the XFree86 X server (static version with debugging symbols)
This package is a variant of the xserver-xfree86 package which includes a
monolithic XFree86 X server binary (as opposed to using loadable server
modules on the architectures where they are supported) and which retains
debugging symbols for execution tracing and core dump analysis.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The package contains no documentation at all. Once the X server has
crashed, where do I find the dumped core etc. gdb is not an old friend
of mine, but I guess that I'll have to learn how to use it. Any good
pointers for that ("gdb for drawling morons in ten seconds")
Except for the server the xserver-xfree86-dbg package includes the
binary /usr/share/bug/xserver-xfree86-dbg. Is this a debugging tool or
what? How do I use it?
