For those of you who experienced the SwitchCoreKeyboard crash while X11 was running (not the old at-startup bug), do you have tablets? Also, I updated the binary drop. Please test out: http://static.macosforge.org/xquartz/downloads/testing/SwitchCoreKeyboard-Ne... It has a possible fix and updated debugging spew to system.log If you could also create a ~/x11-debug.txt file (just use touch to make it and then restart X11), it will capture additional debugging information for me.

I've uploaded an X11 build that includes some debugging information for the 2 reported crashes with 2.3.x (SwitchCoreKeyboard and NewCurrentScreen).
If you are hitting either of these crashes, I urge you to install 2.3.1_rc1 and then replace /A/U/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 with this:

It does not fix the problem, but it will spit out useful debugging information to the system log before it crashes. If you are able to trigger either of these bugs, please download this build and report the messages sent to the system log when you crash.
Thanks, Jeremy

It happens often enough to be annoying, but I haven't figured out exactly what I'm doing to trigger it yet. I'll give it a few more tries and see what I can find out.

Are you able to reliably trigger this crash? You must be if you're reverting to 2.2.3. I have not once hit this. Can you please tell me what you do to trigger this bug reliably? If that fails, then I'll try putting together a special executable with additional debugging spew for you to try.
Don't worry about X11 complaining about /usr/X11/share/X11/xkb not being there. I just haven't silenced that XKB message, but it's harmless.

I'm actually hitting the same crash:
However, when I went to remove /usr/X11/share/X11/xkb, I found that that directory didn't exist at all. So, I started looking through console messages and X11 is complaining about it missing:
8/19/08 6:17:32 PM [0x0-0xc40c4].org.x.X11[3071] (EE) XKB: Couldn't open rules file /usr/X11/share/X11/xkb/rules/base
I'm running "XQuartz 2.3.1 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple9)".
I had been hitting this crash when 2.3.0 was initially released, but since I'm using X11 at work, I didn't have time to mess around with it and it crashed often enough that I couldn't continue using it (since all my work is done in xterms ssh'ing into a Linux box), so I downgraded to 2.2.3.
Any ideas for stuff I can try?
For now, I'm going to downgrade to 2.2.3 again so I can continue working. :)
Thanks.

Just as a hunch, can you pleast try nukeing /usr/X11/share/X11/ xkb (just
move it somewhere else, so the server can't find it)?
Sure I'l try that, but the crash hasn't reoccurred since I last emailed this list, so its not very repeatable.
