Public bug reported: On my Big Endian PowerPC machine, Xorg segfaults when starting. I have been able to confirm that this does not happen when building Xorg from upstream source, and then further confirmed that the source of the segfault appears to be caused by a non-upstreamed, ubuntu specific patch.
When building the xorg-server-1.18.3 deb from source, I commented out the following patches from debian/patches/series to try to isolate the source of the crash. With the following patches not-applied, and the resulting .deb package built, the segfault on start does not occur. 08_xfree86_fix_ia64_inx_outx.diff 105_nvidia_autodetect.patch 168_glibc_trace_to_stderr.patch 188_default_primary_to_first_busid.patch 190_cache-xkbcomp_output_for_fast_start_up.patch 191-Xorg-add-an-extra-module-path.patch 232-xf86compatoutput-valgrind.patch no-nv.patch 228_autobind_gpu.patch xf86-inactive-gpuscreen.patch config-add-no-removal.patch xf86-ignore-conflicting-rr-caps.patch fix-detach-gpu.patch disable-rotation-transform-gpuscreens.patch xmir.patch xmir-desktop-file-hint-flag.patch drm_device_keep_trying.patch xi2-resize-touch.patch xmir-fixes.diff ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: On my Big Endian PowerPC machine, Xorg segfaults when starting.
