Hello, this is my first attempt to fix a bug in a big programm like the x system is. Currently I'm feeling a little bit overextended by the size of the source code and the dependencies of different packets. I hope you can give me some hints, where to begin my search.
'xrandr -s 1' kills my xserver. I wrote a bug report (371144), providing further information about the problem. I wanted to localize what happens. Today I downgraded to xserver-xorg-video-i810=1:1.4.1.3-3, everything is working fine with this version. Upgrading to 1:1.5.1.0-1 or 1:1.5.1.0-2 brings the problem back. Diffing the sources it gives me about 33000 lines of difference: | $ diff -r xserver-xorg-video-i810-1.4.1.3/ xserver-xorg-video-i810-1.5.1.0/ | wc -l | 33664 I wanted to localize the part of the driver, that causes the crash. Is there any possibility to compile and install the packet exactely the same way like the original debian packet is but including debug symbols and run the xserver manually in a debugger? Is there a better way to find the relevant part? How should I begin my work?
