Topic: X Crashing

My X crashes pretty much daily. It crashed just couple minutes ago. And this is not the error message completely (but I could imagine that this is the problem):

WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release
WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist line 4: ignoring bad line starting with 'END'
FATAL: Module fbcon not found

Fatal server error

Failed to submit batchbuffer: Input/output error

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:

# cat <<END >>/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
blacklist pcspkr
blacklist snd_pcsp
END

I have there also the blacklist.conf... should I just remove the blacklist?

I haven't experienced x crashes before Statler, so I'm bit lost with this one, so if you need more information just let me know.

Re: X Crashing

Could you provide some details about your system's hardware? Maybe the output of 'lspci'? Thanks, Hanna. smile

Re: X Crashing

Has this started happening since a kernel upgrade?

Re: X Crashing

^well... maybe more after that, but it started from the day one when I installed Statler (little over month ago) sad

Re: X Crashing

http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/695 this is Xorg.0.log

there was also a Xorg.0.log.old and I thought I might as well post it too (and np, I should have remembered to post these myself, as I was looking these yesterday, and well I give any info happily that might help to find the solution smile )

Re: X Crashing

A friend of mine just told that she had had unsolvable problems with X and had same graphics card (82845 series of gfx cards) apparently than mine. hmm Sounds like there isn't solution really other than changing the graphic card or buying new computer. She also mentioned that turning off the desktop effects should help (though it didn't help her), well I can certainly try that. If it really is so easy as not using xcompmgr, I'd be happy.

Without knowing anything about the inner workings of the X server, this code looks like what should be in a script that was trying to edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. Somehow the code got copied in literally... ??? How about editing /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist to read 

blacklist pcspkr
blacklist snd_pcsp

I have no idea if that would help, but it looks more sensible. neutral
