Description Stacey Roberts 2003-04-27 01:00:26 UTC
I am unable to log into X since I portupgraded XFree86-4-Server today. I had not logged off immediately after upgrading, but had logged off just now, and when I attempted to run "startx" I got a coredump. I don't know how to submit the log file with send-pr, but I am happy to send this to whomever is responsible for XFree-4-Server.
Note, I habe *not* changed anything on this machine recently other than installing Opera. The machine has an uptime of over 5 days, and has been running fine in that time. The only changes to occur is the upgrade to XFree86-4-Server today.

Fix: 

Haven't a clue
How-To-Repeat: For me, running "startx" on this machine with the latest XFree86-4-Server, default cvsup server is cvsup2.FreeBSD.org - earlier today.

In your private email, you posted a log including a crash with the
siliconmotion driver.  XFree86 bug #50 seems to cover this issue and
includes a patch.  I've attached a patch, please apply it to
XFree86-4-Server and rebuild and see if it fixes things.

Note: this PR would have been much more helpful if it had included what
XFree86 version you updated from.  The XFree86.0.log could have been
included with send-pr -a.  Though that would have put it in the "Fix"
section, I would have been able to look up this problem and fix it much
earlier rather than letting it rot in my inbox.
