Summary: Firefox GLX test crashes with Mesa 7.12-devel, Gallium 0.4 on AMD JUNIPER Product: Mesa Version: unspecified Platform: Other URL: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/4a1da9e3- fef3-4ce6-be03-ce07d2110827 OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Drivers/DRI/Radeon AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: bjacob@mozilla.com
Just got this Firefox crash report: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/4a1da9e3-fef3-4ce6-be03-ce07d21...
The Firefox crash itself is not relevant to Mesa/ATI, but this report also says (look at App Notes) that the little GLX test process that Firefox runs at startup also crashed:
App Notes
GLXtest process failed (received signal 11): VENDOR X.Org RENDERER Gallium 0.4 on AMD JUNIPER VERSION 2.1 Mesa 7.12-devel (git-5379a70) TFP TRUE
You can find the source code of this test here: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/d0700ba932b4/toolkit/xre/glxtest....
It's even simpler than 'glxinfo' but differs in that it uses a GLX pixmap instead of a XWindow to back the GL context.
As the 'App Notes' say, this process crashed on signal 11 (segmentation fault)
In the crash report, by clicking the Modules tab you can get version info for the libraries loaded in the Firefox process. For example: libX11.so.6.3.0 libGL.so.1.2
Unfortunately I don't have any more information about it: no stack, no more device information.
Note that Firefox itself is "fine", the present bug is only making the GLX test process crash, Firefox notices that and as a result disables GL-dependent features. But it would be nice to not have to disable these features ;-)
