 |
|
i have an old nVidia GTX 580, running two monitors as separate xorg screens. Occasionally, for no consistent reason that I can find, the xorg server segfaults and I get dumped back to a login screen when my mouse crosses the boundary between the two. This is what shows in my Xorg.0.log:

The main Xorg.0.log file (this crash dump is at the end of Xorg.0.log.old) doesn't show anything particularly useful.
so what's going on here? How can I debug this?
Cheers,
EE
ADDENDUM: This nVidia forum thread documents the exact same problem happening, with different cards and drivers, frequently with dual monitor setups. That page links to an xorg bug report that was apparently patched in 2016. I'm not sure why it's still breaking on my system. |
