#33023: xorg-server: X11.app crashes on launch -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: jeremyhu@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Keywords: | Port: xorg-server -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Changes (by jeremyhu@…): * status: new => assigned Comment: {{{ 16 Application Specific Information: 17 abort() called 18 Failed to activate core devices. 19 X.Org X Server 1.11.3 Build Date: 20120104 }}} That comes from: {{{ oid InitCoreDevices(void) { if (AllocDevicePair(serverClient, "Virtual core", &inputInfo.pointer, &inputInfo.keyboard, CorePointerProc, CoreKeyboardProc, TRUE) != Success) FatalError("Failed to allocate core devices"); if (ActivateDevice(inputInfo.pointer, TRUE) != Success || ActivateDevice(inputInfo.keyboard, TRUE) != Success) FatalError("Failed to activate core devices."); if (!EnableDevice(inputInfo.pointer, TRUE) || !EnableDevice(inputInfo.keyboard, TRUE)) FatalError("Failed to enable core devices."); InitXTestDevices(); } }}} Which is quite odd. Is there anything in /var/log/system.log which can provide more insight? Can you find out what is actually failing there by adding some debug spew to ActivateDevice() in dix/devices.c? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/33023#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
