Xorg crashed with SIGABRT in DRI2GetBuffersWithFormat()

[matti salminen]

After the Sep 13 updates to 12.10 Beta, any attempt at playing music with either the Movieplayer, Rhythmox or VLC causes a GUI failure and presentation of relogin page. It appears that we no longer have the xorg-server (ubuntu-bug xorg-server returns No xorg-server) so maybe the bug is that those pieces of software expect it to be around and freak out.
