Hi, |
| 2 |
This started as part of Michael's thread about Myth crashing. |
| 3 |
mythfrontend is segfaulting for me also, but my problem has spread to |
| 4 |
pretty much any application that tries to display video - mplayer, |
| 5 |
xine and Myth all crash with similar errors. Only xine doesn't crash X |
| 6 |
completely and leaves behind anything in terms of clues. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I've also tried upgrading xorg-x11 to version 7.4. No changes. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
mark@dragonfly ~/Desktop $ xine |
| 11 |
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.5. |
| 12 |
(c) 2000-2007 The xine Team. |
| 13 |
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) |
| 14 |
Major opcode of failed request: 140 (XVideo) |
| 15 |
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 () |
| 16 |
Serial number of failed request: 1814 |
| 17 |
Current serial number in output stream: 1815 |

Note that this isn't even trying to play the file, it's just trying |
| 21 |
to start the user interface. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I see segfault and error/warning messages in dmesg: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
mtrr: no MTRR for f0000000,8000000 found |
| 26 |

|
| 36 |
The MTRR warnings have been around forever on this machine. I think |
| 37 |
the drm:i915 warning is benign in that it's supposedly saying the |
| 38 |
kernel doesn't have gem support, but I could be very wrong about that. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
The kernel is recent but not the most up to date. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Does *anyone* have an idea what I should do to debug this further? |
| 43 |
I've never managed to get good backtrace info under Gentoo so that's |
| 44 |
probably a struggle I'd rather not deal with if possible, especially |
| 45 |
for something as complicated as X. The segfault looks like something |
| 46 |
uninitialized to me but what do I know... (Not much!) |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
I can send all sorts of machine/Gentoo info if requested. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Anyway, all thoughts appreciated. |
| 51 |

Cheers, |
| 53 |
