With the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver, depending on the memory load at the system, it can also crash the Xorg server.
Output from Xorg: Fatal server error: [ 438.248] EXA: malloc failed for size 1073610756 bytes [ 438.248] [ 438.248] (EE) Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.x.org for help. [ 438.248] (EE) Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. [ 438.248] (EE) Guess Xorg/Video-ati should also protect the memory allocation to avoid such crash in case the app/toolkit requests a huge EXA buffer. ** Also affects: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022479 Title: bzr crashed with SIGSEGV in QGtkStyle::drawComplexControl() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bzr/+bug/1022479/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
