2.3.x crashes: SwitchCoreKeyboard and NewCurrentScreen
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: http://static.macosforge.org/xquartz/downloads/testing/SwitchCoreKeyboard-Ne... 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.

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 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.

Sure I'l try that, but the crash hasn't reoccurred since I last emailed this list, so its not very repeatable.

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.

Sweet! That means this is most likely fixed now. The debugging info I got from someone else pointed me to something that should only happen on a system with an attached tablet (and that's probably why I never saw the bug). Please test out that binary I mentioned and let me know how it works... I'll probably put out another rc in the next couple days. Is anyone seeing the NewCurrentScreen crash? Crash reports are being sent into apple with 2.3.0 (which included what I thought would fix the problem)... unfortunately I have no contact info for anyone actually seeing this crash (either reliably or sporadically). If you have been seeing crashes in NewCurrentScreen, please let me know. Thanks, Jeremy On Aug 22, 2008, at 03:22, Peter Collinson wrote:
