Dirk and Stefan tried to reproduce it and it looks like it only happens when the VT is switched after pulling the power plug. Stefan has tried several other scenarions but was unable to lock up this system. Since the situatlions under which this error occurs are so special the current severity doesn't seem to be justified. This bug is somewhat along the line of the infamous NX5000 bug: #290219. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=327064#c20 --- Comment #20 from Dirk Mueller 2007-10-15 06:56:41 MST --- ok, two weeks later and still nothing has happened. some observations: a) it happens even without pluggin/unplugging AC b) DISPLAY=:0 xrandr trashes display when run from text mode while X server is running under :0. this only happens with intel, other chipsets work fine. it doesn't seem allright that the X server trashes my display on that command. c) smells like something is uninitialized. some X server runs are remarkably stable. I can switch at least a dozen time between console/X without a hitch. Somtimes its extremely unstable, and the very first switch after booting already hangs the machine. d) running an arbitrary application that keeps the X server saturated with drawing seems like a good way to provoke the hang during vt switch. i believe that b) could be related to the actual problem, given that KDE does intensive xrandr queries, and if it does that at the wrong time during switch from/to vt, it could cause this machine hang my hardware doesn't have a parallel port anymore but it has firewire and USB, if that helps. given that this has more an ultrablocker state for me than being a normal bug (essentially on bad days I have to reboot my machine 10 times a day, with lots of unsaved work that is essentially lost), is there any chance that anyone could work on this pretty pretty please? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

any chance of a backport? Would you test this, which means going back to the X.Org packages of openSUSE 10.3 + this patch?
