Not sure if it's kosher to repost on another forum. I posted this on two other forums (General and Desktop Environments) and haven't received any replies. My apologies if I've broken protocol. I've reattached
all the relevant files here.
------------------------------------------------
If I run two instances of an X applications using glx, X crashes on me.
A specific case: with glxgears, I just fire up 2 of them and X crashes immediately without fail. With other applications that use glx, the crash
is inevitable but not always immediate.
The error is independent of gnome. I can fire up xinit (after ctrl-alt-f1),
enter
glxgears&;glxgears
at the shell prompt in the xterm and X crashes me back to the command prompt each and every time.
I've attached the output from the X session.
Some details or my setup: I'm running Gutsy Gibbon (this is my work machine and I haven't had time to safely upgrade yet.) I have a Dell Precision M6300 laptop with an NVIDIA QUADRO FX1600M. Although the laptop has 64 bit processors, I had trouble getting the 64 bit OS to work, so I'm running the 32 bit OS. Also, I had trouble getting the full Nvidia drivers to run, so I'm not using any proprietary drivers.
My xorg.conf is in rbpember_100108.tar.gz
I've seen some related posts about disabling glx. That's unfortunately not an option for me. I need it for some of my applications.
My workaround for now is obvious -- run only one of the guilty X apps at a time -- but it can be cumbersome and every once in a while I slip and
**bam** I back at the login window.
