Error log xorg

I would like to use SPICE to connect to my VM. The VM is running F12.

I ve compiled the driver available http://ftp.x.org/pub/individual/driver/xf86-video-qxl-0.0.12.tar.bz2

I ve compiled the driver with the following option 
# ./configure  --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64/ --sysconfdir=/etc 

It compiles and install without error. When I am starting the X session, I get a segmentation fault.

0.0.12 segfaults during probe (see monoliv's attachment)
0.0.11 keeps probing and gives up
0.0.9 however works fine.

Tested on Ubuntu 10.04

Found a solution by googling: http://www.listware.net/201006/xorg-general/32288-re-xorg-cant-load-qxl-driver.html


"in src/qxl-driver.c line 1234, then recompile it 
assert (((struct qxl-mode *)p- assert (((struct qxl-mode *)p-"

Delete line 1234 and 1235, Recompile.
Tested it myself and it worked.

You can also git this:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-qxl/

QXL driver is directly included in F14.
Comment 10 Christophe Fergeau 2011-04-14 09:54:49 UTC
Closing this bug as old since it seems to be working with git and in f14
