Hello,
I get kernel NULL-pointers when I close my video application ('studio') and
then, X usually locks.
Only way to get back into the machine is ssh'ing and typing 'reboot' (after
examining dmesg, of course) or resetting the box. The
keyboard/mouse/video-card are locked by X, it seems, there's no way to
'free' then and killing X remotely doesn't seem to help anything. Rebooting
is the only thing that helped me so far. And rebooting should be for
changing hardware ;-).
The video editor uses zoran hardware to playback the video (using Serguei
Miridonov's zoran driver, version 0.8, for a Miro/Pinnacle DC10+). The
video editor closes 'nicely', i.e. it returns control to the terminal and
gives the quit message. Directly after returning control to the terminal, X
locks up.
I was using X 4.01 (am just upgrading to 4.03 to retest it in there) with
kernel 2.4.4, and I'm using the XFree 'nv' driver. The video editor uses
the video4linux/Xvideo extension in Xfree to display video in the
(gtk-)application.
The kernel says (dmesg):

I ran ksymoops on these thingies, although I'm not really sure whether it
has any use since it's not really an oops (or is it?). They are attached as
log[45].
Is this X, kernel or my application? (since it crashes X and the kernel
gives errors too, I guess it's a combination?)
Anyway, if I could get rid of this I'd be very happy, it's always bad to
see your self-written application crash the box.
