I tried to craft together some command,
"strace -o /dev/null -p `pgrep Xorg`". But this could be done better.
Here it will write to /dev/null, but it will also write a message on your
screen when it does so. It is actually this message I found
interesting to use.
What I believe it may tell me is:
a) when Xorg die
b) when a thead die
c) - some indication of the reason
--------------------
What I have found is that memory structures get trashed. Xorg seem to write
to parts it should leave alone, etc. ( some memory management is missing )
I am running 64bit AMD with ati-radeon.
So far, I have seen how this little command seem to report when/why some of
the problems occur.
Would like some improvement:
Pseudo code:
loop
if not "monitor" attached,
write output to file,
increment error-counter,
attach monitor,
endif
always
( "monitor" being: strace -o /dev/null -p `pgrep Xorg` )
-------------------------
Some may have some clever idea as how to accomplish this.
The *important* point would be if it could be of use for more then
myself, and perhaps uncover some of the obstacles we struggle with.
