I very much doubt this is a bug in xorg-server (xserver 1.9 series). The crash ([ 11.710] segmentation fault at address 0x1010) happens very clearly with Nvidia graphics cards and with nvidia-current binary drivers. In fact with nvidia, the system will not even boot to gdm. Also using wireless or bluetooth mouse causes x to crash.
But it is important to notice that this happens only with xserver-xorg-input-evdev_2.6.0 input driver (controlling mouse and kb). Downgrading to previous version (2.3.2) fixes this completely. This has also been tested with vanilla xserver-xorg-input-evdev (2.6.0) in Arch Linux and xserver 1.9.3 with same results. So this is not Ubuntu-specific issue. This might not even be a bug at all. Evdev 2.6.0 might simply not support xserver 1.9. Note, that evdev works well with xserver 1.10 series. This can also be tested with the packages in xorg-edgers PPA. The only issue, which can be considered a bug, is that this evdev driver (2.6.0) in Natty official repos: - depends erraneously on virtual package xorg-input-abi-11 (which refers to xserver 1.9 series as a matter of fact) - provides erraneously a virtual package xserver-xorg-input-11 (also refering to xserver 1.9 series). Correct dependency is xorg-input-abi-12 and correct provided package is xserver-xorg-input-12. This way this evdev 2.6.0 could not be even installed on systems with xserver 1.9. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/709977 Title: Xorg crashed with SIGSEGV in RemoveDevice() - segfault at 1010 error 4 in evdev_drv.so -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
