Test suite fails to start Xorg with cirrus graphics device on x86_64 arch
Originally created by @anonym on #7171 (Redmine)
Trying this results in a fatal Xorg error, with a backtrace from
/usr/bin/Xorg
that seem to originate in
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/libfb.so
, and a bus error.
Using cirrus works fine with a devel build from 2014-04-25, but doesn’t work with a devel build from 2014-05-07. After a quick look at the diff of the .iso.packages files it seems the upgrade to Linux 3.14 may have caused this (no other upgraded packages are relevant).
It can easily be worked around by either:
1. switching to the QXL virtual graphics device
2. switch architecture from x86_64
to i686
but 2 doesn’t work for us since we need both architectures in some tests
(e.g. memory_erasure.feature
). Option 1 will be implemented in the
branch test/6559-adapt-test-suite-for-Wheezy
soon.
