I have problem with my X crashing now all the time. First this happened after upgrading to xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r1. I tried to fix it by upgrading to 1.4-r2 but everything is still broken.

This is what happens almost always if I try to start some application in X:

Code:

Backtrace:
0: X(xf86SigHandler+0x7e) [0x80c712e]
1: [0xb7f62420]
2: /usr/lib/libpixman-1.so.0(pixman_composite_rect_general+0x44e) [0xb7e0081e]
3: /usr/lib/libpixman-1.so.0 [0xb7e09dc6]

8: X(miGlyphs+0x3a8) [0x8154638]
9: X [0x81703aa]
10: X(CompositeGlyphs+0x9a) [0x8157aba]
11: X [0x815f391]
12: X [0x815a7f5]
13: X [0x814dfae]
14: X(Dispatch+0x2ce) [0x808d6de]
15: X(main+0x486) [0x8074c26]
16: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe0) [0xb7c59ff0]
17: X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x21d) [0x8073f91]


Basically I'm currently being able to run fluxbox, urxvt and links inside X and everything else (for example: firefox-bin, kontact, eclipse, ooffice) crashes it. I have ati-card and I've changed to vesa-drivers (as oss-drivers seem to crash things even more easily).

To me the problem seems similar to these:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-593378-highlight-pixman.html (evince causes X to crash/close)
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-593714-highlight-pixman.html (firefox crashes xorg-server-1.4)

Any ideas? I've tried upgrading pixman to the latest portage offers but it didn't help me.

Hia,

I finally had some time to work with my gentoo installation and I found the problem. Seems to be that pixman was compiled with some sse-instructions while my athlon thunderbird doesn't support those. Same bug as in:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192048

My problem was solved after adding -mno-sse to CFLAGS and recompiling pixman.
