Hello, to make it short: Has anybody seen segmentation faults out of nothing when running Enlightenment DR16 under Xorg 6.9.0 ?
I did already report this issue for Xorg. See also https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6359 There can also be found some more detailed debugging information. To give a short description here: The Xserver (nothing special, just VESA) crashes with a segmentation fault without any special reason in junction with selected applications. The latest of these applications I discovered to be problematic is gvim. When it is started then X crashes within 5 minutes - and this without typing anything into the editor and not even having the cursor focus on it. Usually I'm using the Gnome desktop with Enlightenment (DR16). I tried also KDE with Enlightenment and there is the same problem. With other window managers such as metacity or kdewm I've not yet seen this problem. Yesterday I tried the nice Enlightenment DR17 and there the problem does also not appear (at least for the tests I made). So the problem seems to be really dedicated to DR16 (at least versions 0.16.8.1 and 0.16.8.2). Other versions of X I have not tried so far. This rises some more or less rhetorical questions: - Can this be a bug in DR16? And if yes, can it cause a segmentation fault of the X server? - In case it is a bug of Xorg 6.9.0, why does it become "effective" only with DR16? - What makes some applications so special that they trigger the crash? If anybody experienced the same problems or got some idea what can be the root cause, I appreciate any input. Thanks a lot, Mario PS: My Linux distribution is Mandriva 2006.0. But I think this does not matter. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
