So this is just a completely WILD shot in the dark right now, but do you have an intel graphics card? I have been experiencing -very- similar issues, brought it up in IRC last night, and Dan Leiner (running openSuSE) has very similar issues, and a few other KDE developers I know (at least one who thinks it's the same issue) but we can't seem to figure out where this is coming from. The only real connection I can make right now, as strange as it sounds, is Amarok... I don't experience this sort of crash until Amarok has been open for any long amount of time... I have been running my system without Amarok and it has been -much- less random-xorg-crash-with-screen- corruption-y... About an hour after I started Amarok last night, boom, crash. I dunno for sure, and am not implicating anyone, but I have a feeling it's triggering some Qt or Xorg driver bug that is causing things to go to hell... This is all just WILD speculation with no real backup of course, not implicating amarok yet ;) Can you attach Xorg.0.log or Xorg.0.log.old the next time it crashes, whichever has the crash backtrace, or is filled with about 10MiB of error messages like mine is :) Ryan -- Ryan Rix == http://hackersramblings.wordpress.com | http://rix.si/ == == http://rix.si/page/contact/ if you need a word == -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
