Cook's xserver-xorg-core package seems to fix the issue for me. At least, glxgears no longer makes X crash, nor does playing a video fullscreen in mplayer. These two thing caused crashes 99.9% of the time previously.
My only disappointment was that it did not fix an issue I had thought might be related but now turns out not to be: The bug where if you have multiple tabs open in yakuake and the first (hidden) one is scrolling text (ex. compiling), and you minimize yakuake, X will crash/restart. Oh well. I think Kees' fix is probably the best way to go for everyone involved. Patches probably shouldn't reorder these structures in the first place if it needlessly breaks binary compatibility with the video drivers. That kind of change should be reserved for larger X revisions. -- [nvidia-glx] 3D GL apps crash X when using compiz due to unmaked ABI change (gutsy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130325 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
