Hi all,
I brought up this issue last month and had some response but as of yet my particular problem still exists. In brief, X windows dies with signal 11. I have done quite a bit of testing and this does not seem to be a hardware issue. Also, I have never managed to get a signal 11 error when not running X. I posted on the X Free86 mailing lists and the consensus there seems to be that it is likely a hardware or kernel problem. So, my question is, how can I pin point the problem? Is this likely to be a kernel issue?
Recently I have been able to reproduce the problem reliably in a few ways. First, if I use an app that uses ncurses (like 'make menuconfig' on the Linux kernel) from within Gnome-terminal then X dies instantly. For now I have gone to using only xterm. I can also cause the error from xmms by scrolling the playlist repeatedly. This will happen within a few seconds but not instantly like above. I have also seen the error in other cases but none that I am yet able to reproduce on demand.
PLEASE, any suggestions?
--Rainer
