Sentry Crash Report:

Description Dan Bohr 2008-11-12 10:18:54 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The installation is a Kubuntu Interpid Ibex, 64 bit kernel on a Lenovo X61s with all updates from the Kubuntu repositories.

I can trigger the crash by issuing
xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 --pos 0x0 --output VGA  --mode 1024x768 --pos 1024x0

which switches on the second monitor correctly, but also makes KWin crash.


Here is the (full) backtrace from the KDE crash handler:

Hello,

Thanks for your report. It sounds as if you are able to reproduce the crash. So could you please have a look at http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports, try to install the debugging packages for your distribution and post a more detailed backtrace?
