Subject: kdm crash (due to a bug in libx11-6 o xserver in unstable?)
Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I want to report a bug that makes kdm crash, though I believe that the bug
is not caused by kdm itself but probably by the xserver in unstable (that
have changed the way of handling input devices, in particular the keyboard).
[with the xserver-xorg in lenny (version 1.7.20) things work fine, with
the version in unstable (1.7.4+4) kdm crashes.
Here is the back trace generated by kcrash: as you can see the segfault
occurs in src/xkb/XKBBind.c (line 320) from libx11:

Hi,
You are using an unsupported combination of packages (KDE 3 from lenny
and X 7.4 from unstable). KDE 3 is dead upstream and it is not going
to be fixed to support newer versions of libraries and other
components of the system, such as X. Since kdm from lenny works fine
with X from lenny, this is not a bug that concerns us. To solve this
problem, either downgrade X to the version from lenny or upgrade to
KDE 4. If the problem persists with KDE 4.3.1 that is now available in
testing and unstable, please reopen this bug.
Thank you,
George
