As mentioned lately in another thread I moved to amd64 unstable last week. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
So far OK ... but: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I see X11 crashing repeatedly but I don't have a clue what component |
| 8 |
might be the reason. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Sometimes my gnome-session (2.28) works for hours, sometimes for minutes. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
It crashes when starting a new program like opera, firefox, thunderbird, |
| 13 |
amarok, ... something .... |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I don't have a clear way to reproduce the crash and the logs don't tell |
| 16 |
me anything. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
--> |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I rebuilt xorg-server, xorg-drivers, xf86-input-* .... opera, etc |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I re-emerged @system overnight, ran revdep-rebuild, lalefixer etc (yeah, |
| 23 |
I know, X11 isn't @system ... but just to do the basement right) |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I use nvidia-drivers here, so I also did "eselect opengl ..." again. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I erased xorg.conf and redid it via nvidia-xconfig ... and changed it to |
| 28 |
use absolute coordinates, as the xorg-server-1.7 seems to have issues |
| 29 |
with "LeftOf" ... |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Additional info: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I use compiz and xinerama ... two monitors ... might add some problems. |
| 34 |
The two monitors are the reason for still using xorg.conf with |
| 35 |
xorg-server-1.7.x (maybe there's a better solution? I don't know yet). |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
bugs.gentoo.org doesn't show anything describing my issues, I hesitate |
| 38 |
to file a bug as long as the symptoms are that vague ... |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Some clues, someone? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
There were NO such crashes before moving to full ~amd64, I ran |
| 43 |
xorg-server-1.6 before (mixing stable and unstable ...). |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Simply going back to xorg-server-1.6 ? |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Thanks a lot, Stefan. |
