Description Stefan Behlert 2005-08-11 12:01:55 UTC 
There are two possible ways to kill the X server on a Maxdata 1200X: 
 
a) Switch from X to virtual terminal and back - X Server dies 
b) Suspend and resume - X server dies 
 
I'll append the Xorg.log - the machine is available from us.

Looks suspicious to me.
Comment 5 Stefan Behlert 2005-08-11 12:27:44 UTC 
It's a plain beta1-installation, only resmgr and bluetooth-packages have been 
replaced by newer versions. 
The machine is available online as g72, root-pw is the usual 
mobile-devices-laptop-password.
Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-11 12:32:50 UTC 
My fault. I forgot to package

  programs/Xserver/Xext/xvmc.c
  programs/Xserver/Xext/xvmcext.h

in via-CVS-2005-07-07.tar.bz2 (used in xorg-x11 build). I'll fix this.

New Xext module

Looks like this fixes the problem. Copy the file
to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libextmod.a.
Comment 8 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-11 13:36:28 UTC 
Please give it a try. Also on the machine of bug #98907.

logfile

Log from the bug #98907 machine.
Still dies at switch back to X.
Comment 10 Stefan Behlert 2005-08-11 15:41:00 UTC 
 Ok, I tried it, and switching to virtual console does now no longer kill the  
machine. I'll check suspend/resume later. (Had a midair-collision and was in a 
meeting meanwhile, sorry)

xf86debug log
Comment 12 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-11 21:39:07 UTC 
This is exactly what I got on g72 without the new libextmod.a when doing a 
"chvt 1; chvt 8" after starting xf86debug.
Comment 13 Stefan Behlert 2005-08-12 12:24:07 UTC 
X is surviving suspend  on the maxdata machine now, too.
Comment 14 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-12 12:28:21 UTC 
Ok. Then let's close this one as FIXED. I've commited a new xorg-x11 package for
STABLE.
Comment 15 Stefan Behlert 2005-08-25 11:34:53 UTC 
switching to console and back kills X-Server on beta3 on that machine again. 
It's currently available as g228
Comment 16 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-25 13:05:20 UTC 
Adding

  Load "dri"

to Modules section seems to help. I'll add this to x11DB, so it will be fixed
with Beta4.
