Getting X server crash backtrace
Hello.
On one of Debian systems I administer, user does experience random X server
crashes. The crashes seem not to be reproducable by exact action sequence,
but they do happen every 2-3 hours.
This happens both with 4.2 from testing and 4.3 from experimental.
I don't think it is bad memory or similar. I guess it is a bug in X server
itself, and I want to catch it.
I've done some work inside X server in past, and used to run X server from
gdb, using another computer as debugging console.
The problem is that in this case, computer in question is standalone (no
network at all).
Is there any recommended way to get the crash backtrace from crashed X
server? What I want is to do some setup on the user's computer, and let
user do his work, but on server crash I want a core file to be generated,
that can be analyzed by gdb later.
I guess -dbg X server package is needed...
If debugging such issues is documented anywhere, please point me.
