When I click any key in onboard X goes away and restarts. Could someone try to reproduce that? Does it happen with anything other than the radeon os driver I'm using?

I think it started with the latest xserver updates to 1.5.99.3. There is no hint in the logs of whats happening.

marmuta, almost all the known chipsets are having issues, intel, ATI, Nvidia almost all seem to have problems (driver issues).

Well, I was trying to figure out if it really was a graphics driver problem. Apparently it isn't, it segfaults in some keyboard code.

I've just filed bug #309785.

It could still use a confirmation to get it kicked-started. So no matter the graphics driver, whoever wants to do some testing, just run onboard in a terminal and see if it crashes X when clicking any button. Comments in the bug report are very welcome.

Thanks guys.
