Description: When I launch frozen-bubble the screen gets
blank as if it where to start the game, but then it crashes
and my KDE session terminates. I've tried to get some sort
of log, but it has turned out to be impossible for me.
Suprisingly, it works on my x86_64 PC.

I have tried to find something that could help and, in the end, I did it. The problem seems to be what you said, i.e., that X is crashing. Here you have the messages written in /var/log/everything.log after launching frozen-bubble: http://aur.pastebin.com/VZ4r2Eiq
You also have my xorg.conf file, so you know my computer settings. To be more precise, here you the result of issuing lspci -v: http://aur.pastebin.com/v2E5FwjM
I have also tried, using the next switches unsuccessfully:
+ --no-fullscreen
+ --no-sound
+ --very-slow-machine
I hope a solution can be found soon.
Best regards! ;-)
[musikolo@MyPC ~]$ pacman -Q xorg-server kernel26 savage-dri xf86-video-savage
xorg-server 1.9.3.901-1
kernel26 2.6.37-5
savage-dri 7.10-1
xf86-video-savage 2.3.1-4
I hope a solution is found soon!
attached you have the Xorg.0.log file as requested. In order to get a clean file, I have removed all log file (/var/log/*) before launching frozen-bubble from konsole. As you can see, there is nothing weird at all, or at least, I haven't found anything interesting. The only interesting thing I have found is that if a create a brand new xorg.conf file (by issuing 'X -configure' as root) and replace the driver 'savage' for 'vesa', frozen-bubble works (although it looks horrible). Thus, I think the problem really relies on the driver, rather on the Xorg server itself. What do you think?
Beside all the above, I have also tried using a new user, logged in KDE and started frozen-bubble, but the problem persists. So, I would assume there is nothing wrong in my personal settings.
If needed anything else, please, just let me know.
Best regards!
I know the savage driver is quite stack mainly because it's quite old and not very common nowadays, but it should be maintained over time anyway.
If you have any sequence of steps you want me to do, please, let me know. I'm all ears!
In the end, the problem has disappeared in the last update. Currently, I have the following verions of frozen-bubble and savage driver:
[musikolo@MyPC ~]$ pacman -Q frozen-bubble
frozen-bubble 2.2.1beta1-1
[musikolo@MyPC ~]$ pacman -Qs savage
local/savage-dri 7.10.1-1
Mesa DRI drivers for S3 Sraphics/VIA Savage
local/xf86-video-savage 2.3.2-1 (xorg-drivers xorg)
X.org savage video driver
[musikolo@MyPC ~]$
Thanks a lot!
