LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] X freezes when closing window

- Linux - Newbie (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/)

- - X freezes when closing window (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/x-freezes-when-closing-window-794077/)

Glad I could help.
Bugs can be filed at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/, though I couldn't say where; I just grabbed that from the top of the error

EDIT: Don't know about version on pacman, the man page should help, and this X server isn't due for release until Oct 2010, so no clue when it'll be fixed, or even why it gave you that version

I think I heard that pacman's config file can have an ignore list in it, I will read how to use it and add xorg-server there. Just have to remember that at October :).

And I will check out that link and see if I could figure out how to file a bug.

Haha, yeah- hopefully they'll have it sussed by then- rather an important program to leave so full of errors ;)

I added xorg-server to pacman's ignore list.

I have another "problem" (maybe):

Code:

$ sudo pacman -Syu

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] n

Didn't I tell it not to update xorg-server?

Anyway I will try to install it, because it's a newer version than the one that had problems. Can always downgrade later.

I found out why it didn't ignore xorg-server — the line was commented out!

I guess it was a happy mistake, though, because I restarted X and it still seems to be working fine now, even after opening and closing a few windows.
