Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.1.0-16
Severity: important
Hi,
first my thanks for the work on Debian.
I am running XFree on an Alpha (first two lines of dmesg):
Linux version 2.4.18 (root@gnork) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian
prerelease)) #12 Wed Jun 26 15:43:24 CEST 2002
Booting GENERIC on Tsunami variation Monet using machine vector Monet
from SRM
Using a selfwritten tool (not by me, but I know the author), I can cause
X to crash. There may be an error in the application, but it should
never cause to affect X in such a way, at least I think so. (X crashes,
but restarts showing the gdm-login screen.)
To confirm this, you could get the tool I used (it is for visualisation
of data):
home : http://www.aei.mpg.de/~pollney/ygraph/
source: http://www.aei.mpg.de/~pollney/ygraph/src/ygraph-0.14.tar.gz
binary: http://www.aei.mpg.de/~knarf/ygraph/alpha_linux/ygraph
(alpha version + striped)
Then you might want to get one data file:
http://www.aei.mpg.de/~knarf/xfree_bug/alp_3D_diagonal.xg
if you then start it with
ygraph -x15.5,16 -y0.913,0.915 alp_3D_diagonal.xg
it should crash your X-server. The options -x and -y are for setting the
ranges of the display, if you start without, you will see some sort of
graph.
You can see my XFree86.vt01.log (there X was running from 'startx', but
the problem was the same) and my /etc/X11/XF86Config here:
http://www.aei.mpg.de/~knarf/xfree_bug/XFree86.vt01.log
http://www.aei.mpg.de/~knarf/xfree_bug/XF86Config
(I hope it is ok not to include this here, I can add it later, if this
would be better than the link.)
Thanks for looking into this. Please let me know, if you need more
information.
