 Posted: Sat Jul 24, 2004 9:18 pm Post subject: X Crashing |
 |
|
I'm having some difficulties with Xorg crashing. It occurs with both KDE and Fluxbox, and it's just Xorg that crashes (ie: if I started it with KDM it drops me back to KDM.) The pertinent part of the Xorg.0.log is:
| Code: |
*** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not
*** be the reason for the server rebooting
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
Please consult the X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.X.Org
for help.
Please alsa check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. |
I'm using the ~x86 nvidia driver. I will post my setup and configuration once I launch back into X here.
EDIT:
There is absolutely nothing in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log or the .old file that indicates anything after the initial startup. I can post the segment but other than the above snipet, it dosn't change between the initial launch and the crash. I can't figure out what makes X crash, it just does it seemingly at random.

I've been fiddiling with different things, trying to get it to work. It also sometimes exhibits the hanging problems mentioned in other threads. I can SSH to it just fine though when it does that.
-I don't have 4k stacks compiled in my Kernel (gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.7, latest x86)
-I tried both the lattest 5536 and the 6019 nvidia drivers. I have a twin-view monitor setup so nothing else will work really.
-DRI is off.
-I have both APGART and NVIDIA-AGP modules (not compiled into the kernel) and currently, neither of them are loading at boot.
The wierdest thing is that if the system does hang and I have to preform a hard reboot, sometimes my MoBo will start with my 2.2GHz Athlon XP 2800 thinking it's at 1350MHz and then give me all sorts of errors. I have to go into the BIOS and retore the factory default settings (they settings don't seem to be any different when this happens) for it to boot normally.
Again, I would be more than happy to provide any information needed. Of course, I am typing this out in KDE right now so it might be working. I'll fiddle and test some more. |

X crashed again (dropped me out of KDE and into KDM). I set NvAGP to 0 in my config and confirmed that it's off (cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status returns disabled) so I'll see if that helps.
EDIT: The system just hung again (not a crash this time) with AGP off. I'm out of ideas now. Using Windows right now, hopefully someone has an idea I can try. |

I setup a single monitor xorg.conf using the provided "nv" driver and after a little while, it crashed as well in the same manner as the dual-screen setup. So, I guess it's not a configuration issue. That leaves X.Org and Hardware. If anyone has an idea I will again be more than happy to provide any information needed to get this resolved.
EDIT: Since this is a hardware issue and my view of the problem has changed a lot since I started spewing random information, I set up a new thread in Hardware here.
Thanks,
Justin |
