Hi, I only did on new install since I have reported this bug. That installation did work. However, I have no idea whether the original problem is fixed.

Hi, About 3 years ago, you reported a bug to the Debian BTS regarding the X server not starting. Did you reproduce this problem recently? If not, I will close this bug in the next weeks.

I compiled it myself, but from the debian kernel-source package.
Should I provide the config for the kernel?

Well, I am not used to using gdb. Can you please provide me information
on how to do this?
Calling 'gdb X' results in the following:

And can you also tell me how I get the backtrace directly into a file instead
of being printed to the terminal? Thanks for your help.

We would like you to provide us with more information and perform a debugging session. Which kernel are you using? is the 2.4.25 that you are running a debian package (and if so exactly which version) or a vanilla kernel you compiled your self? Please install xserver-xfree86-dbg and run a gdb session on it. Theoretically even with the code removal X should be able to fail nicely and not to segfault. Thanks a lot Fabio -- fajita: step one Whatever the problem, step one is always to look in the error log. fajita: step two When in danger or in doubt, step two is to scream and shout.

Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 Severity: important Tags: sid Since my apt-get upgrade yesterday, X refuses to start with the message: *** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not *** be the reason for the server aborting. Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting There were some message about symbols that couldn't be found. These had to do with GLCore and speedo. I reinstalled xserver-common and xserver-xfree86 and now these messages are gone, but X still refuses to start.
