[Bug 583891] Re: X.org crashes sometimes. [drm:radeon_cs_ioctl] *ERROR* Failed to parse relocation -12!

[lelamal]

@John Gilmore: I'm not entirely convinced this bug is a duplicate of bug
#550850. The latter seems to be specific to Compiz, as the title itself
entails, and users reportedly refer to Compiz, including you, while the
present bug report also includes Kubuntu, which relies on Kwin as a
window manager.

As I understand from the original report and various comments, including
yours, in bug #550850 it's just Compiz to exit, but X is not crashing as
reported in this bug. You report that the "window manager goes away",
leaving you with undecorated windows, and that you're still able to log
out and then back in to temporarily solve the issue. Also, you add that
when it happens, you "can usually type into a terminal and/or a web
browser, so there's lots that could be done". Conversely, this bug
reports X crashing and taking users straight to the login screen
(imagine hitting Ctrl+Alt+Backspace in the old days, to get the effect),
and when that happens there's not much we can actually do apart from
logging back in.
