Bug#805605: xserver-xorg-core: crash/freeze on logout of tty that was previously serving as a vt for X
I believe I am seeing the same bug (similar symptoms, similar X
backtrace). It is triggered simply by logging out on some other VT;
multiple X servers are not required. To reproduce on a freshly-booted
machine:
- log in (on VT1)
- startx
- switch to VT2
- log in
- log out
At this point, instead of leaving me on VT2 with a login prompt, it
automatically switches back to VT1, which is stuck as Brian describes.
Brian, can you reproduce this? If so, I suggest changing the bug title
to something like:
xserver-xorg-core: crash/freeze on logout on another vt
There appears to be some non-determinism:
- Sometimes the VT1 terminal still shows the mouse pointer (on the
otherwise empty i3 desktop); sometimes not. (On attempting to switch
to a different VT, the mouse pointer, if still present, always
disappears.)
- During my many trials, in a single case, logging out on VT2 worked as
expected, except that screen brightness was very low.
I'm using an up-to-date Stretch, with rootless X and no display manager,
using the i915 GPU driver (like Brian apparently, but with a different
Intel graphics controller, "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]:
Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
[8086:0046] (rev 02)").
