[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#698008: more info

[Oxan van Leeuwen]

Hi,

This bug also affects Konsole in KDE, using Kwin as window manager. When I try 
to (un-)maximize the Konsole window, the X server infrequently segfaults. It 
seems to happen about 20% of the time, with chances increasing when the X 
session has been running longer. Extensive dragging of Konsole windows across 
screens can consistently crash the X server. I've also managed to reproduce the 
crash using a closed-source Qt application once.

A quick Google search turned up the following relevant information:
(*) ArchLinux and Gentoo are affected too: 
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1176889
    http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-955708-start-0.html
(*) 13.1 should have fixed this, but it doesn't work. There's a report of
    12.6 working for someone (I haven't tried it yet).
    http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=227&t=109597
(*) It has already been reported upstream, where someone mentioned that it
    only happens in multimontior environments, which might be true; I'm
    using one.

I'm using kernel 3.8, but can also reproduce the crash with 3.6. X and fglrx 
stack from testing installed (xserver-xorg-core 2:1.12.4-6, fglrx-driver 
1:13.4-2).
