Random X crashes

I have installed F12beta x86_64 in my laptop with nvidia 8400M GS and the nvidia driver from the russian fedora repository.
The X server keeps crashing randomly.

unless you can reproduce this with the open-source 'nouveau' driver, there's not a lot Fedora can do to help; the NVIDIA driver is closed source. It may be best to report this to the Linux forums at nvnews.net , which is the sort of unofficial NVIDIA Linux driver support venue, some NVIDIA employees monitor those forums.

I hope 1.7.1 fixes some of these problems. Over the last week, I've had many new X instabilities, from deadlocks in the server, to memory corruptions etc. Stack traces reveal some of them to be the bugs I've reported before, but other new ones have surfaced. From koji it seems that 1.7.1 should be part of the next release, so I will wait for that before reporting these formally. Cross fingers that it resolves some of these issues.

1.7.1 is in koji, but it won't go in f12 final, we're trying to do a final release here and stuffing a new X server version in while we're trying to do the final package freeze is not an A+ doublegood idea.

if you want to grab 1.7.1, it's at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/b...buildID=138995 .

Does that mean I should report these additional X server bugs (they aren't video card related)

if they only happen when using NVIDIA i don't think you would get a lot of joy.


1.7.1 may end up in final after all, we are currently debating it for an unrelated change...

meaning the proprietary driver...if you can reproduce something like this with X server 1.7.0-5 and any driver that's actually part of Fedora, then we're interested.

I have just updated to 1.7.0-5, but I can't find the debuginfo packages for it. Just wait for them to be mirrored?

I have just added several new stack traces and other logs from the many crashes I have just experienced to bugzilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=523905).

While I hope you don't latch on to the fact that these were produced with a certain app, I think it is interesting that I have now a reasonably reliable way to cause the crashes.

You might notice that the stack trace in this attachment (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=367390) is somewhat similar to the stack trace posted by the OP in their Xorg.0.log.
