Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9
Today, 12/10/2009, I updated my Karmic test system to the most recent
versions of all software, including X and the kernel. During this
process, I released all holds on the jaunty version of xserver-xorg-
video-intel. I am sad to report that gdm remained in the restart loop
(despite the fact that
Is there something more I can provide to help move this from

For now, I have restored usability to my system by downgrading the
xserver-xorg-video-intel package to a jaunty version. I used the
following method:
1) Downloaded:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27624866/xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.6.3-0ubuntu9.3_i386.deb
2) sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-intel_
Is there any further information I can provide to help with this
process? Is something still missing? Is there any way to work around
this by using the drivers from 8.04 rather than the new ones? My system
is barely usable as a desktop as it stands (slow, unstable). I

I also have an Xorg.0.log file from Ubuntu 8.04 running on the same
hardware (linux partition #3), which seems to work a lot better (stable,
fast, though compiz won't start). I don't know if a comparative
analysis will help, but I've attached it just in case.

I'm not sure if this is related, but it might be. I decided to install
9.10 on another partition so that I had something to experiment with.
During the installation process, once the live install cd starts, an
Xorg crash is reported in the notification area. I recall this
happening the first time
Okay, I think I did it. I install these packages:
sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-core-dbg
sudo aptitude install libgl1-mesa-dri-dbg
sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-intel-dbg
sudo aptitude install libdrm-intel1-dbg
Then I ran gdb as described, caused the session to crash by selecting
Also, it appears I'm going to have to do the backtrace the hard way as I
can't get the apport service to start on my machine. I also can't
figure out why it won't start. There doesn't seem to be anything
pertinent in the logs other than:

I've stopped gdm as advised above, though "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" advised
me to use "stop gdm" instead. I've started X using startx from the
console, which seems to work fine, but doesn't go through any of the
xsplash stuff and doesn't crash. Should I be attempting to get a
backtrace on starting g
Actually there are two bugs here - one is the splash screen and X crash,
the other is the gdm restart loop. The latter is bug #441638 and is in
progress. Let's ignore that and focus on the underlying issue of why X
crashed to begin with.
Unfortunately, the gdm bug is going to make it difficult f
