Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.1.0-15 My laptop (AMD Athlon Mobile 1200MHz running testing with Savage video chipset) triggers a similar bug when I try to restart X-Window. I need to reboot to get X working again.
This bug seems to be the same as #60288 in Ubuntu. See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/60288 . A patch is provided there. It also might be already fixed upstream (in Xorg 7.2 as stated in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8537 ). I applied the patch provided in Ubuntu BTS then rebuilt and installed xserver-xorg which now seems to work. No more signal 11 when I restart X. So, when would you plan to upgrade to 7.2 in testing?
