Re: Recommended way to use Debian?
Hoi:
I'd say the problem may well be somewhere in the graphics stack. Once you have
a crash it's quite convenient knowing exactly where it happenned and getting a
backtrace of it.
Check ~/.xsession-erros and also Xorg log (/var/log/Xorg.[01].log or
/var/log/Xorg.[01].log.old if a new X instance already fired up), sometimes
kdm.log also helps.
If you want further information, install relevant -dbg packages: xserver, x video
driver, mesa and drm. Once you have this installed make sure you enabled core
dumps. I do this adding "ulimit -c unlimited" somewhere at the begginning of
/etc/init.d/kdm script. If X crashes you'll get a core dump at /etc/X11/core
which you can later analyze with "gdb /etc/X11/core $(which Xorg)"
Good luck with this. Regards,
