Hi X.org, Quake3, Soldier of Fortune and Duke3D are all crashing my X server. A bunch of other games like Enemy Territory and Racer are working just fine. Other apps that use the 3D accelleration of the binary nvidia driver seem to work fine too. X Window System Version 7.1.1 Release Date: 12 May 2006 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.17.6 i686 Current Operating System: Linux xpc 2.6.17.13 #4 SMP PREEMPT Wed Nov 8 22:54:10 CET 2006 i686 Build Date: 16 October 2006 ...

Server aborting Things seems to be keymap related, since all games crash in the exact same way. Anyone willing to drop me a solution or a hint in the right direction would be much appreciated. If you need any more information please let me know. Cheers, guid0
Got similar problem on my gentoo here is a link to gentoo bugzilla http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156307
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
The backtrace you have provided is not very helpful (likely because of optimizations you have made in Gentoo). Also, you are using the nVidia closed source driver. Please try nv or nouveau with a recent server, and if this is still a problem, reopen with a proper backtrace.
