wine kills X

[Stefan Leichter]

Hello,

when i start wine, my X gets terminated. The logfile Xorg.0.log shows

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Backtrace:
0: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x84) [0x80c4354]
1: [0xb7f48420]

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Last line in wine's relay log is:
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

The call stack is:
0009:Call PE DLL (proc=0x7e950b00,module=0x7e8f0000 
L"winex11.drv",reason=PROCESS_ATTACH,res=(nil))

ret=7ee82bb5

My system is:
Athlon XP 2700
NVIDIA GPU GeForce4 Ti 4200 (with NVIDIA driver version 1.0-9631)
Debian Etch

Last system modification was an update of the debian system with the availabe 
patches on 05.01.2007. This is most probably the root of the problem.

Can someone please give me an idea how to fix this problem

Thanks Stefan

Did you try running with OSS nvidia driver to isolate whether it's possibly
an nvidia issue?

And try running Wine in synchronous mode, plus more X11 related logging,
to find out which call exactly causes the crash.

Found it.

The NVIDIA driver installed its own libglx.so 
in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions. This was replaced by the update.

Thanks for the kick in the right direction

Isn't there a "sister" package repository somewhere that would have the NVidia 
drivers that install in a package-controlled way, and update automatically 
with the rest of stuff?

Livna provides that for RedHat/Fedora distros and it solved it for me (not 
having to reinstall drivers after every update).

The debian answer is a linking method that allows mesa to live on and for
the nvidia driver to have everything it's own way.  In theory and practice
I've found it to be a very good solution with two big draw backs: the mess
created by either system makes it a night mare to remove one in place of the
other and it takes them a good while to update to each new release of the
driver due to the testing required.  Some people choose to use the package;
others don't... Install instructions are available on the debian wiki.

Also I've had a number of odd problems with directx and wine over the last
two weeks.  Including a very strange one where the second time I run the
application it's speed is slower than an ant in the range of 0.7fps instead
of the normal 10fps - furthermore it's ability to grab data seems to also be
slowed.  This is all while using the same resources that the application
does at full speed.  I'm forced to restart my xserver every time I wish to
play it (which is twice a day) and if I don't I can kill X or even lock up
my system.  Though I've been unable to work out the cause beyond 'it's
probably some thing to do with the nvidia driver'.  If some one could offer
a some debugging advice on what I should be looking for it'd be very nice.

System is Debian sid
6600gt (have tested with the last three drivers)
amd 2400+

Run a diff on glxinfo and xdpyinfo logs from before and after running that
app?
Maybe something changes, and this might hint at the problem.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log doesn't display anything relevant either, I assume?
