[Chimera-users] X-server segmentation fault on launching chimera

[Francesco Pietra]

Hello:
Having upgraded Debian Linux i386 squeeze release from kernel 2.6.30
to 2.6.32 everything works except X-server segmentation fault on
launching CHIMERA, build 30282 of last March 29. I have successfully
recompiled CHIMERA, last Apr 14 build, on the updated Linux release,
to no avail. I need the experimental builds for features not included
in the stable release (centroid trace in movie). To compare, another
graphic program, GIMP, can be launched correctly.

Below - between *** - the final part of "Xorg.0.log" reporting
troubles. Before that, the log is identical to when X-server is
working properly.

Thanks for suggestions.
