*** Bug 11079 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Just wanted to note that neither Nexuiz nor Warsow use the Quake-3-engine. Nexuiz is based on DarkPlaces (which originates from Quake 1) and Warsow uses QFusion (besed on Quake 2). (In reply to comment #2) > Just wanted to note that neither Nexuiz nor Warsow use the Quake-3-engine. > Nexuiz is based on DarkPlaces (which originates from Quake 1) and Warsow uses > QFusion (besed on Quake 2). > Right... oops. By the way, it's worth noting that Quake 3 openarena and Alien Arena work like a charm. Another issue is that sometimes X completely locks up when switching to a VT or logging off of my X session. Worse, sometimes it even reboots the entire computer after the screen locks up.

After running Frets on Fire, or trying to start beryl, X completely freezes when it is shutdown. Keyboard and mouse don't respond and a hard reset is neccessary.

After I disabled the Composite extension I was able to quit X.org after playing Frets on Fire. So, the composite extension is the cause of the problem? I'll try disabling it and playing a game and see if that's related. Although, I really hope it's not. I like my compcomm! Created attachment 10387 [details]
The log from one of the technicolor lines lockups.
I was able to deduce that my bug is not the fault of the composite extensions, and get log files from both types of X crashes that I'm experiencing: the one that happens after playing a GLX game (technicolor lines getting blitted across the screen, making X completely refuse input but the rest of the Linux systems are operational) and the one that happens sometimes when VT-switching and shutting down X (screen goes black with a few dark spots, completely locks up computer, in most cases restarts the computer as well).
I'll attach them both so you can see them.
