Description denisgolovan 2012-06-24 14:47:08 UTC

Hi

The behaviour looks like that - just several seconds after window manager starts, X crashes. 
That is a regression in recent releases. 
Version 6.14.3 is the last working version.
I bisected the problem down to commit 3853c3020d05175ae180b9a188dec7c425bdd0b8.

Reverting that commit fixes the problem.
Tested under the latest git revision 248e912c487636d7352cfad43c03fc9f19fc2215.

P.S. I use ATI Radeon 5850, Gentoo x86, xorg-server-1.8.2 dual head (xrandr), libdrm-2.4.35.

Please investigate.

Dave, any idea what to do for xserver 1.8 or older?

Comment 2 Dave Airlie 2012-06-25 01:17:55 UTC

/me has no idea why that happens, wierd.

If wrapping it version checks works I do that, but really sounds like a server bug, and 1.8.2 is not really supported anymore.

should be fixed in X server master now.

Thanks. Now it works.
