Here is a sort of simple shell script that I just thought of that might make people's lives a little easier. Cut & paste this into a file (maybe /usr/local/bin/dri_debug.sh) and then add this line to your equivalent of /etc/rc.local: /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/dri_debug.sh to have it run at boot time to save info from the last crash. Otherwise, just run it any old time to get a snapshot of log data.
If there's interest, I'll put together a nice rc script that should work on most distros for distribution with the testing binaries. This is just a "mock up" (I haven't even run it - I hate dog food ;) of what should be a bit more complicated and grab a few more things, but you get the idea. DRI_DEBUG_DIR=/var/tmp/dri_debug_`date +%d-%b-%Y-%T` mkdir $DRI_DEBUG_DIR cp /var/log/XFree86.0.log $DRI_DEBUG_DIR # this should work, but a grep might be better ... tail -5000 /var/log/messages >$DRI_DEBUG_DIR/syslog.log cp /etc/X11/XF86Config* $DRI_DEBUG_DIR ls -l /usr/lib/libGL* >>$DRI_DEBUG_DIR/usr_GLFiles.txt ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib >>$DRI_DEBUG_DIR/X11R6_libFiles.txt ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/glxgears >>$DRI_DEBUG_DIR/ldd_glxgears.txt # any other files ... tar -czf $DRI_DEBUG_DIR.tar.gz $DRI_DEBUG_DIR #rm -rf $DRI_DEBUG_DIR It might be nice to patch xinitrc to do this: glxinfo >>/var/tmp/glxinfo.txt every time so it can be bundled up, too. Then when people start having problems, the list can expect (somewhat) consistent reports. Lemme know what you think.
