[opensuse-factory] Help in debugging a startup crash in Xorg (Bug 770560)
Are there any X specialists that read this list? On my system, nouveau does not work, I refuse to use the proprietary Nvidia driver, and my resolution is greater than 1024x768, which is the maximum that the frame-buffer driver can handle. Thus I need to use nv, the 2D accelerator. My problem is described in Bug #770560. On 12.1, my 50-device.conf uses driver nv, I can set 1280x800 in the other configuration files, and I get what I want. On 12.2, whenever I try to load nv, Xorg crashes with a seg fault (NULL dereference) in libpthread.so. I found articles on the web that tell you how to debug Xorg crashes, but I don't know how to extend them to the case where Xorg does not start. I need help on this part. Initially, I thought this was just a minor annoyance with 12.2, but I have changed my mind. This is a problem that should be addressed before 12.2 GM.

I wonder if this could be another manifestation of https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=766059 fixable by enabling the same X11:XOrg repo? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Thanks for the suggestion, but it seems to be different, at least changing to that other repo did not change anything, nor did updating to RC1. Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
