Created attachment 40328 [details] Backtrace in gdb after crash This is on ubuntu 10.10 after upgrading from 10.04. Every time i try to call emac, the x-server crashes, and I have to login again. Following the advice, I get the debug-version. Attached the gdb output.
The backtrace points to line 943 in dix/dixfonts.c err = (*fpe_functions[fpe->type].list_next_font_with_info) (client, fpe, &name, &namelen, &pFontInfo, &numFonts, c->current.private); Can you display the registers? A few lines of the asm code before and after the instruction that caused the fault would be interesting too.
Here is another report of the problem, also on an AMD 64 box: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2010-November/051831.html
Please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file
Created attachment 40372 [details] Disassembled code, registers Added the disassembly and register info as requested.
Created attachment 40377 [details] Xorg.0.log at crashtime 1.) Started (KDE) session // with gnu session the same effect 2.) Started konsole 3.) calling emacs from konsole ==> crash
Created attachment 40379 [details] Extended data of Xorg.log After restarting the session, this data was also added to in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
(In reply to comment #3) > Please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file Yes, it looks very alike to my crashes
I have the same problem after upgrading from Fedora 13 to Fedora 14.
If you are using the rpmfusion binary NVIDIA driver then you probably have this bug: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1528
It crashes with the nouveau driver too. But removing the following line from xorg.conf seems to help: FontPath "unix/:7100"
Hi, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31501 is the same bug. Thanks, Colin Harrison
