Bug#457997: xserver-xorg-core: starwars hack from xscreensaver freezes Xorg
Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.4.1~git20071212-2
Severity: important
Hello,
when I run the starwars hack from xscreensaver, Xorg freezes. The rest of
the system is working, however, the console is locked forever. I was able
to login remotely, but gdb Xorg crashed and killing X had no effect, even
did not kill X. top showed X is eating 100% of the CPU, and that almost
all of it is spent in the kernel.
This behaviour occurs regardless of how I run starwars, eg. regularly as
screensaver (I use kscreensaver), as preview in kcontrol, or directly from
the commandline. This makes me think that it isn't related to grabs.
Also, I see this behaviour for quite a long time, I was only able to trace
it now.
Regards
Jiri Palecek
