I am not sure this is really a Qt bug.
If you get a crash in anything else than the app, it can only be a bug in the OS stack. Unprivileged code must not be able to crash the system. So yes, you should report this to the Nouveau people. > But maybe Qt should detect incompatible configurations and give out a > warning or refuse to start?

Working around historical bugs that will never get fixed is one thing, but dealing with them in a bleeding edge, rapidly changing project like the kernel, X.Org or Nouveau is another. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
