Java crashes X server

[Hans D. <han...@we...>]

Hi!

I have successfully set up kernel 2.6.3 with the corrseponding ruby from 
cvs, and
I was able to get two local XFree86 sessions working with 1 Ati Radeon 
9800Pro (Ati propriatory driver),
and one Ati Radeon 7500 All-InWonder (SVGA driver for TV-OUT). 
Everything is working beautifully,
except that any graphical java application (swing/awt/browser applets) 
will crash the X server on which the
application was running imediatly.

I use the precompiled 4.3.0 X server available from the backstreet-ruby 
homepage (http://startx.times.lv/).. Maybe I should
try to compile my own.. but I doubt it will help. I run an up-to-date 
Gentoo system with the blackdown-jre 1.4.1 btw.

The point is, that everything is rock-solid, and can be stable for 
weeks/months. Only executing a graphical java app will crash
the X server.. Has anyone seen this before?

I appriciate any help on this!

-Hans

Strange indeed.  I haven't seen that, What I see though is that
running xterm or rxvt or similiar kills my xserver.  It affects
both the matrox server and the framebuffer server.  Fortunately
powershell doesn't have this problem, or I'd be without working
terminal emulator. I have no idea why, hoping it goes away with
some future kernel.  It is easy enough to work around. :-/

Do you have problems with non-ruby kernels too?
