Xorg.0.log

When switching between computers with a KVM, my AMD64 desktop will occasionally (1 in 4 times, maybe) will have X either lock up or reset.

Log attached.

Running xserver from git and xf86-input-evdev from git. Both are from 10/05/2009.

Xorg.0.log, disconnecting keyboard repeatedly

Attached is a log of X crashing when repeatedly disconnecting the keyboard.
Comment 2 Michael Ben-Gershon 2009-12-09 05:00:36 UTC
I also have this problem, with a Fedora system (nvidia driver) which shares a keyboard monitor and mouse with 2 other machines via a KVM switch. Switching to another machine and back to the Fedora system will usually crash Xorg on the Fedora machine. The X display manager may be restarted only by doing a telinit 3, then killing the Xorg process, then doing a telinit 5 from the remote machine.

Fedora bugzilla will not relate to the problem as they saw I am using the nvidia binary supplied driver and not their open source version. However, I am convinced that there is no connection, as Matt Turner's bug report indicates (he is not even using an NVIDIA card at all!)

I am using xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.1-7.fc12

Subjectively it seems more common when the machine is switched back before the
xscreensaver has cut-in, but this is not always the case. I would say that it
happens about 70% of the times the KVM is used. Watching the Xorg.0.log file
from the remote machine via telnet shows that the crash happens when the Fedora
machine is switched back in and not when it is switched out.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch to remote machine with the KVM
2. Switch back to Fedora machine
3. In most cases the whole Xorg system will have crashed.


Two sample log files follow, note that the crash is in a different place in
each log:

Comment 3 Matt Turner 2010-01-04 22:16:04 UTC
This appears to be fixed in commit 13c8bd3fde3b0831921e59f84936022a16379d63. I certainly cannot reproduce it after adding this patch.

3rd party confirmation would be excellent, before closing this bug.
Comment 4 Matt Turner 2010-02-05 12:43:52 UTC
Definitely _not_ fixed.

I just reproduced it without intending to. I'm using xserver from git from 1/27/2010.
Comment 5 Peter Hutterer 2010-02-06 00:46:09 UTC
Can you check if this is a dupe of bug 25640? the trigger sounds similar.
Comment 6 Matt Turner 2010-02-12 13:35:19 UTC
Yes, this appears to be fixed by the patch in bug 25640. Closing as a duplicate.

Thanks Peter!
