Application: kwin (4.6.00 (4.6.0) "release 6") KDE Platform Version: 4.6.00 (4.6.0) "release 6" Qt Version: 4.7.1 Operating System: Linux 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop x86_64 Distribution: "openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64)" -- Information about the crash: - What I was doing when the application crashed: While Firefox 4.0b12 was running (with npviewer.bin running at the background), I launched Granatier 1.0.0. Granatier showed some unclear and slow performance, so I tried to disable direct rendering (desktop effects). After applying it, KWin disabled the desktop effects. Enabling the desktop effects does not work, as this made KWin crashed. - Unusual behavior I noticed: At a certain moment, by enabling the desktop effects, it didn't only crashed but it also gave me an error of about my X server configuration. This was just once. After that it didn't occured anymore. My apologies, but I can't recall anymore what the message stated. The crash can be reproduced every time. -- Backtrace: Application: KWin (kwin), signal: Segmentation fault [Current thread is 1 (Thread 0x7fa010486760 (LWP 2835))] Thread 2 (Thread 0x7f9ff2cae700 (LWP 2854)): #0 0x00007fa00bd5638c in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x00007fa00eb52044 in QTWTF::TCMalloc_PageHeap::scavengerThread (this=0x7fa00ee6b180) at ../3rdparty/javascriptcore/JavaScriptCore/wtf/FastMalloc.cpp:2359 #2 0x00007fa00eb52079 in QTWTF::TCMalloc_PageHeap::runScavengerThread (context=0x7fa00ee79254) at ../3rdparty/javascriptcore/JavaScriptCore/wtf/FastMalloc.cpp:1464 #3 0x00007fa00bd51a3f in start_thread () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 #4 0x00007fa00fce467d in clone () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #5 0x0000000000000000 in ??

driver bug, sorry. FYI: DISabling direct rendering does NOT make things faster, rather the opposite. What you likely wanted to do is "suspend" compositing (SHIFT+Alt+F12) I guess the driver crashes because of the indirect rendering, re-enable it to get back a somehow stable system. KWin might mourn that you can't because your GL driver is cr... "broken". You can rearm this protection by passing kwriteconfig -file kwinrc -group Compositing -key CheckIsSafe true kwriteconfig -file kwinrc -group Compositing -key OpenGLIsUnsafe false in konsole (_before_ starting systemsettigns)
