package libcairo2 retitle 612645 openchrome: new libcairo2(?) crashes openchrome EXA reassign 612645 xserver-xorg-video-openchrome thanks
Hello,
upgrading libcairo2 to 1.10.2-2 crashes Xorg on a VIA VX800 Chrome 9
(IdeaPad S12) when starting firefox (iceweasel) or gdm3. Downgrading
libcairo2 to 1.8.10-6 solves the issue.
I'm using the current openchrome from unstable with EXA enabled.
I just spotted the crash also doesn't show up when adding
Option "ExaNoComposite" "true"
to xorg.conf, hence I assume the bug is more related to openchrome EXA
than to libcairo2, thus I'm reassigning it to openchrome.
Disabling Composite was not needed before and as far as I can see from
disabling it at least notify-osd and screenlets did use Composite
effects before.
I can't really tell how deep libcairo2 is involved into the crash, since
upgrading to 1.10.2-2 also installs EGL and XCB libs.
I believe, the relevant candidates are
libcairo2 1.10.2-2
libegl1-mesa 7.10-3
libxcb-dri2-0 1.7-2
libxcb-xfixes0 1.7-2
I have no idea how to narrow this down any further since libcairo2 seems
to be the only current dependent of the others.
Attached is my crashing xorg.conf together with a Xorg log from
xserver-xorg-video-openchrome 1:0.2.904+svn916-1. If you need further
evidence I'd be glad to provide it.
This is most likely something to forward upstream, but I have no
openchrome trac account and would really like to avoid creating one if
possible.
regards
Mario
