I have tried fvwm2 42, but it seems to be very unstable. I didn't
find this bug in the mailing list archives or the TO-DO list, so
I thought that I should report it.
The problem is that fvwm2 crashes when I switch to an another
virtual console with ctrl+alt+Fn (Fn is any F-key). This seems to
happen at random times, but very often. To produce it I just
do something in X and switch from and back until it happens.
It always happens when I switch from X to text, never the opposite.
Here is the output:
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
xterm: fatal IO error 2 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server ":0.0"
xinit: connection to X server lost.
This never happens with fvwm 1.2. I am currently using Linux 1.99.8, but
I had the same problem with 1.2.13.
In case it is a bug in the server, here is the version info:
XFree86 Version 3.1.2 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6000)
It is the SVGA server.
I run it with a Cirrus Logic 5434 card with 2 Mb RAM in 16bpp.
I didn't find any notice of such bug in the XFree86 FAQ.
If you need additional info, just contact me.
Bye.
