KDM4: TerminateServer needs to be set to True in kdmrc
Last modified: 2008-05-19 19:05:41 UTC
After logging out of KDE the X server appears to freeze. Sometimes I can see the kde bugreport tool popping up briefly, then the display turns into some random stuff, other times I cand log out smoothly, but it freezes bith a black screen. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace won't work, neither will Ctrl+Alt+F1 for example. The only way to get out of it is Ctrl+Alt+Delete. The KDE version is 4.0.3.
Please attach /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
Still no response after one week. Please reopen once you can provide the requested feedback. Thanks.
sorry for the delay. I have been very busy this week. I installed the nvidia beta driver and it works like a charm now. when i was experiencing this problem I was using the nv driver. if it's still needed, I will try to switch back to the nv driver when I some spare time.
Yes, I think it's a driver issue. So, please - if time permits - switch back to nv, provide the config and logfile for this configuration and reopen this bugreport.

attatched the requeste files...
Looks like it hangs here: [...] (II) NV(0): EDID vendor "KTC", prod id 8707 (II) NV(0): Probing for EDID on I2C bus 1... (II) NV(0): I2C device "I2C1:ddc2" registered at address 0xA0. (II) NV(0): I2C device "I2C1:ddc2" removed. (II) NV(0): ... none found (--) NV(0): Trying load detection on VGA2 ... nothing. Could you also attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old, the logfile of the first Xserver, which was still working?
well, I recompiled the driver and It's working now, so which one should I get?
Oops. I don't think this is a hang. Probably you switched to console and back to X. Therefore these messages. I don't think they are the problem here. I'll try to reproduce this issue with a GeForce 8400GS, since I don't have a GeForce 8600 GT.

I can reproduce this issue. When logging out the following message appears in Xorg.0.log: (II) Open ACPI successful (/var/run/acpid.socket) (II) APM registered successfully (--) NV(0): 155.00 MB available for offscreen pixmaps That's strange, because Offscreen pixmaps are disabled by default now.
Same problem when enabling Offscreen Pixmaps again.
Happens even when disabling acceleration completely. Doesn't happen when using fbdev driver. So this must be a nv driver issue. Cannot be reproduced with a G7x card ==> G80 only.
Even more strange. This issue only happens when using kdm4. Works fine when using kdm3/gdm/xdm.
Anybody familiar with KDM4? I'm wondering what's done different in KDM4 versus KDM3. Is the Xserver killed in a different way?
Reassigning to trigger feedback. Reasssign back afterwards.

I think I figured out the reason. TerminateServer is set to false for kdm4. Please change this to true. At least for display :0 and :93. This setting we use for xdm, gdm and kdm.
fix submitted to the buildservice..
submitted to factory. probably too late for beta3 though.
