Configuration: - Hardware: Dell latitude C810, with Nvidia Geforce2 Go graphics adapter - Software: Debian testing, XFree 4.1
Symptoms: - When running xdm and running an x-session as user _and_ serious cpu load, X crashes (caught signal 11, exiting). - To debug, I tried running the X server more verbose, ie with # xinit /usr/bin/wmaker -- /usr/bin/X11/bin/XFree86 -logverbose 5 => Result, all the crashes dissappear, no matter how hard I try apt-getting and kernel compiling... Although, when I run the following (ie. running xdm and logging in as user) the crashes come back # xinit /usr/bin/X11/xdm -- /usr/bin/X11/bin/XFree86 -logverbose 5 What I've already tried: - Native nv driver from Xfree (did not succeed) - Different versions of Nvidia drivers - Disabling/enabling different XFree modules - Disabling/enabling AGP support (both native Nvidia and kernel) - Different kernels: 2.2.20 and 2.4.17 - Different windowmanagers (windowmaker/twm) - Different login managers (xdm/kdm) All these make no difference in the symptoms... First I thought there were problems with the nvidia driver, but (after the debugging attempts) I start thinking there must be something wrong in the interaction between the login manager and the xsession client (in my case the windowmanager). But, I get the problems with different login managers and different windowmanagers, which leaves me perplex... Anyone could help me debug this _very_ unpleasant phenomenon (sometimes I crash 5 times while trying to install a simple windowmaker dockapp)? thanks a lot!
