[Bug 344957] Re: [hardy] xorg crashes nightly; SIGSEGV in pixman-image.c

[Patrick B.]

Thanks for all the help.  I thought it might be power management too,
but it's a desktop and suspend appears to be disabled.  My hunch was
that it was some kind of memory management issue, since if I tried to
resume after only a couple of hours it would work, but the graphical
updates seemed more sluggish and the system would be more unstable.
(Sorry that I can't say that more precisely!)

Anyway: I tried the Jaunty LiveCD and was able to get the computer to
resume after leaving it alone for two days.  This used the default
settings, though, not the radeonhd driver.  (I attempted to install the
radeonhd driver but had problems with not being able to get the maximum
screen resolution, and when I tried to add a line to my xorg.conf
enabling 1680x1050, X would no longer start.  I can try it again,
though.)

I since decided to bite the bullet and upgrade to Intrepid, and, so far,
I haven't suffered from the same crash - however, I'm also using the
default radeon driver.  Since it's finally working I'm not eager to mess
with it too much, but when I get a chance I'll attempt to run X with the
radeonhd drivers and see if I still get any crashes.
