Bug#673287: xserver-xorg: Crash occurs when the X process is killed.



Hi,

Anthony Campbell <ac@acampbell.org.uk> (17/05/2012):
> Package: xserver-xorg
> Version: 1:7.6+13
> Severity: normal
> 
> To reproduce the crash, open any terminal (e.g. xterm) in a window
> manager (icewm, dwm, i3 for example) and execute "kill <process>", where
> <process> corresponds to the X server as identified with "ps ax". The
> result is either a frozen screen or a black screen. In either case there
> is no response to any key press or the mouse. It is no longer possible
