I forgot - the reason why I have newest x server and kernel is I wanted to check if more recent versions do not contain a fix for this bug. If you think the reproducer on clean 11.3 (+ KDE 4.5) is needed, please let me know.

The crash is in GLX -> X.

Well, the crash is in Mesa (./src/glx/dri2_glx.c). How did you enable VRefresh?

Sorry, I mean Vsync.

Whatever. I mean the value for vblank_mode ...

Braindead fix (untested).

There's a checkbox on Advanced Tab of kwin, which is called Use VSync - don't know what's doing, I just randomly tested all possible kwin settings.

I found the similar problem (also due kwin's crash) and a proposed patch [1], which was not accepted by upstream [2], because it just hides the main problem, which is few lines above in GetGLXDRIDrawable, which should not return NULL according upstream.

Lubos, can you check the question in [2], please?

project doesn't exist. I've updated KDE4 to 4.5 from KDE:Distro:Factory/openSUSE_11.3 instead.

--> kwin-4.5.0-493.4.i586

Meanwhile no longer available. 2.6.36-rc2 give me a blank screen (KMS broken?),
so I've installed the update kernel for 11.3 instead.

kernel-desktop-2.6.34.4-0.1.1.i586

Anyway, I can't reproduce that issue at all on my GM45 machine.

The patch is for a later Mesa version. For now I'm going to apply my patch and provide you a package for testing, since I can't reproduce the issue.

I have this problem in .36 from Kernel:HEAD too. It's independent on kernel/X version.

That's sad

OK, I'll retest it asap. Thanks a lot.

Anyway please read what upstream says [1]. The main problem is very probably the fact GetGLXDRIDrawable returns NULL, which should not happen. Sorry, I do not understand the details, but the bug might be still in kwin if it use the DRI2 drawables incorrectly.

[1] http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2010-July/001638.html

Ok. I understand. That is more likely an application/toolkit bug then. Reassigning back.

Is this still a problem with KDE 4.6?
