Hi,
The problem has gone away :)
I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 as well as the latest GNUstep svn version, and the cairo backend works very well now.
Thanks,

Eric

No, but I just use the art backend which works fine. Thanks for taking a look, though.

Hi,
What happens: with the latest gnustep svn, when I start any example program, say Calculator.app, my xserver crashes. Tested with the xorg in ubuntu gutsy, and latest one in debian unstable (crashes on both.)

I posted this as a bug to the xorg bug tracker at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13478 (contains the xorg backtraces) because it seems like an Xorg bug (it only happens with one video card, the intel 82815. no problems with an ati card). However, it also only happens with gnustep (gtk is fine), and only with the cairo backend (art backend works fine), and only when XAA is on.

The little calculator icon button appears in the lower left corner of my screen, and is actually drawn properly, before the crash.
Also, I'm not sure how to debug this. I found instructions to get a backtrace of Xorg, but I don't know how to get one for Calculator.app since it may not be crashing.

Thanks for any help
Eric
