xmame giving X a sig11 for past half year
I have set up a lot of custom modes in my X configuration so I can play my arcade games in their original video modes. This works great. Unfortunately, when we made the jump to Xfree86 4.2 (actually, it may have been before then, but definately by the time 4.2 rolled around) Xfree started dying whenever I exited mame. mame itself works great; I can play my games. The irritation is that I lose my entire X session after a good session of Galaga and Frogger; IRC sessions, Mozilla sessions, etc. It is as bad as the old days when I dual-booted Windows just to play Warcraft II. Please help me get rid of the bad old days again. I did an strace on xmame, however, it produces NO output from the crash; the last messages stop at the point where the xmame is all started up and nicely playing my game. Then when it crashes, strace prints or something similar. That's it. Here is the /var/log/Xfree86.0.log file as requested, and I have included my kernel dmesg below it: --- /var/log/Xfree86.0.log: --- This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any way.

advertise woody packages
If I remember right someone has gone to the trouble of compiling the latest (4.2.1) debs for woody. Branden, would it be possible for you to add a link to these unofficial woody repositories on the X Strike Force page? It could be a nice way to help us encourage others to use Linux via Debian stable, while letting them get full support for their video cards.

Okay. Not saying it isn't a bug; just getting a handle on the scope.

[This is a form letter.]
Hello,
You recently filed a duplicate bug report against Debian's XFree86
packages; that is, the problem had already been reported.
While there is often nothing inherently wrong with doing so, the filing of
duplicate reports can cause Debian package maintainers to spend time
performing triage and maintenance operations on bug reports (e.g.,
instructing the Debian Bug Tracking System to merge the duplicates) that
could otherwise be spent resolving problems and doing other work on the
package.
One very good way to file bugs with the Debian Bug Tracking System is to
use the "reportbug" package and command of the same name. A very nice
feature of reportbug is that, if the machine where you run it has network
access to the World Wide Web, it can query the Debian Bug Tracking System
and show you existing reports. This reduces the chance that you'll file a
duplicate report, and offers you the option of adding follow-up information
to an existing bug report. This is especially valuable if you have unique
information to add to an existing report, because this way information
relevant to the problem is gathered together in one place as opposed to
being scattered among multiple, duplicate bug reports where some facts may
be overlooked by the package maintainers. The reportbug program also does
a lot of automatic information-gathering that helps package maintainers to
understand your system configuration, and also ensures that your message to
the Debian Bug Tracking System is well-formed so that it is processed
correctly by the automated tools that manage the reports. (If you've ever
gotten a "bounce" message from the Debian Bug Tracking System that tells
you your message couldn't be processed, you might appreciate this latter
feature.)
Therefore, I strongly urge you to give "reportbug" a try as your primary
bug reporting tool for the Debian System.
One way to install reportbug is with "apt-get"; for
example:
$ apt-get install reportbug
The "reportbug" command has a few different modes that cater to different
levels of user expertise. If this message has contained a lot of jargon
that is unfamiliar to you, you likely want to use reportbug's "novice"
mode; here's one way to do that.
$ reportbug --mode=novice
Please enter the name of the package in which you have found a problem,
or type 'other' to report a more general problem.
>
If you're more sophisticated, or if you are not using the released version
of Debian ("stable"), but instead Debian "testing" or "unstable", you
should use reportbug's standard mode.
$ reportbug
Please enter the name of the package in which you have found a problem,
or type 'other' to report a more general problem.
>
The reportbug command is extensively documented in its usage message and
manual page. Commands to view these pieces of documentation are:
$ reportbug --help | more
$ man reportbug
(The output of the above commands has been omitted from this message.)
Thanks for using the Debian system!

There are actually some 2.4 kernels available for m68k, but due to an issue related to glibc[1] that started somewhere in the glibc-2.2 area, they don't boot. There used to be a bug report on glibc regarding that issue, which was rather quickly reassigned to the kernel-patch-2.4.7-m68k package.

In such cases it's okay to manually edit the version number placed there by the bug reporting tool.

What's the real problem? I'm running 2.4.20 (from Linux/m68k CVS) on my Amiga,
with glibc-2.2.5-3? Or is this version glibc too old to exhibit the problem?

Is that the exact version string? Looks like something's broken
("branden@").

Or is this version glibc too old to exhibit the problem? I am trying to build some 2.4.20 packages. The last version I tried was 2.4.18, which was mostly stable, but it still froze from time to time. And I think it did not work together with xdm. I have one built for my Amiga, but I cannot test it until I return home. I will try to build generic kernel-images for all subarches, so more people can test them, its not enough to have 2.4 kernel-images, they better work at least as good as the 2.2.20 we are using now.

xmame giving X a sig11 for past half year
I have set up a lot of custom modes in my X configuration so I can play my arcade games in their original video modes. This works great. Unfortunately, when we made the jump to Xfree86 4.2 (actually, it may have been before then, but definately by the time 4.2 rolled around) Xfree started dying whenever I exited mame. mame itself works great; I can play my games. The irritation is that I lose my entire X session after a good session of Galaga and Frogger; IRC sessions, Mozilla sessions, etc. It is as bad as the old days when I dual-booted Windows just to play Warcraft II. Please help me get rid of the bad old days again. I did an strace on xmame, however, it produces NO output from the crash; the last messages stop at the point where the xmame is all started up and nicely playing my game. Then when it crashes, strace prints or something similar. That's it. Here is the /var/log/Xfree86.0.log file as requested, and I have included my kernel dmesg below it: --- /var/log/Xfree86.0.log: --- This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any way.

Okay. Not saying it isn't a bug; just getting a handle on the scope.

[This is a form letter.]
Hello,
You recently filed a duplicate bug report against Debian's XFree86
packages; that is, the problem had already been reported.
While there is often nothing inherently wrong with doing so, the filing of
duplicate reports can cause Debian package maintainers to spend time
performing triage and maintenance operations on bug reports (e.g.,
instructing the Debian Bug Tracking System to merge the duplicates) that
could otherwise be spent resolving problems and doing other work on the
package.
One very good way to file bugs with the Debian Bug Tracking System is to
use the "reportbug" package and command of the same name. A very nice
feature of reportbug is that, if the machine where you run it has network
access to the World Wide Web, it can query the Debian Bug Tracking System
and show you existing reports. This reduces the chance that you'll file a
duplicate report, and offers you the option of adding follow-up information
to an existing bug report. This is especially valuable if you have unique
information to add to an existing report, because this way information
relevant to the problem is gathered together in one place as opposed to
being scattered among multiple, duplicate bug reports where some facts may
be overlooked by the package maintainers. The reportbug program also does
a lot of automatic information-gathering that helps package maintainers to
understand your system configuration, and also ensures that your message to
the Debian Bug Tracking System is well-formed so that it is processed
correctly by the automated tools that manage the reports. (If you've ever
gotten a "bounce" message from the Debian Bug Tracking System that tells
you your message couldn't be processed, you might appreciate this latter
feature.)
Therefore, I strongly urge you to give "reportbug" a try as your primary
bug reporting tool for the Debian System.
One way to install reportbug is with "apt-get"; for
example:
$ apt-get install reportbug
The "reportbug" command has a few different modes that cater to different
levels of user expertise. If this message has contained a lot of jargon
that is unfamiliar to you, you likely want to use reportbug's "novice"
mode; here's one way to do that.
$ reportbug --mode=novice
Please enter the name of the package in which you have found a problem,
or type 'other' to report a more general problem.
>
If you're more sophisticated, or if you are not using the released version
of Debian ("stable"), but instead Debian "testing" or "unstable", you
should use reportbug's standard mode.
$ reportbug
Please enter the name of the package in which you have found a problem,
or type 'other' to report a more general problem.
>
The reportbug command is extensively documented in its usage message and
manual page. Commands to view these pieces of documentation are:
$ reportbug --help | more
$ man reportbug
(The output of the above commands has been omitted from this message.)
Thanks for using the Debian system!

There are actually some 2.4 kernels available for m68k, but due to an issue related to glibc[1] that started somewhere in the glibc-2.2 area, they don't boot. There used to be a bug report on glibc regarding that issue, which was rather quickly reassigned to the kernel-patch-2.4.7-m68k package. Since, to date, nobody ever solved the issue, the latter package has now been removed from the archive.

What's the real problem? I'm running 2.4.20 (from Linux/m68k CVS) on my Amiga,
with glibc-2.2.5-3? Or is this version glibc too old to exhibit the problem?

It started showing up when I added the code that "autodetected" the video drivers. Damn damn damn. Now I'll have to manually exclude them, and force existing values of "radeon" and "r128" to "ati".

Is that the exact version string? Looks like something's broken

Or is this version glibc too old to exhibit the problem? I am trying to build some 2.4.20 packages. The last version I tried was 2.4.18, which was mostly stable, but it still froze from time to time. And I think it did not work together with xdm. I have one built for my Amiga, but I cannot test it until I return home. I will try to build generic kernel-images for all subarches, so more people can test them, its not enough to have 2.4 kernel-images, they better work at least as good as the 2.2.20 we are using now.
