I am the only one with a single monitor that have this issue? I can't find why Xinerama maybe active, if no seond monitor is plug. Maybe that come from the fact that my laptop is a dual video card system (sony vaio z12 : intel + nvidia) ? On Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 4:35 PM, Eddy eddy.b...@gmail.com

I confess I'm new to this process (so no familiar with patching roadmap) ... but was wondering ... why is this bug still in New status ? Is there still a doubt it is a bug ? If VLC crashing was deemed to be of medium importance, surely X crashing should be thought as being ... high ? --

Hi there. I've got a 4 screens (2 quadro nvs 285) setup (2 twinview + xinerama) I'm able to reproduce this by running emacs22-gtk (or emacs23-gtk). AFAIK emacs23-gtk is not linked to qt ! :-) My workaround is to use lucid packages for xserver-xorg-core, xserver-xorg, xserver-xorg-input-evdev

Since it happens even with nouveau drivers and old nvidia drivers and only in Xinerama that's probably a problem of xinerama mode itself with some nvidia card instruction, not of nvidia binary drivers. Using twinview is only a temprorary solution since some have dualhead on different GPUs or

I can also verify this issue. My triple monitor setup using Xinerama was working perfectly using the most recent Nvidia drivers under 10.04. Upon the upgrade to 10.10, I started receiving the segfault when starting X. Disabling Xinerama allows me to run X, but is not a long term solution.
