[Jaunty]ProSavage8 segfaults in DRIFinishScreenInit+0xb1

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-driver-savage

My Acer Aspire 1315 laptop crashes X during DRI init.

The X.org log produces the following backtrace:
Backtrace:

This is a regression as it worked with at least Gutsy, Hardy, Intrepid.

Thanks for your report. There is a know issue that non-xrandr 1.2 drivers fail with xserver 1.5.99.901. You can wait for 1.5.99.902 (or 1.6 even) or you can try the savage driver in my PPA which has a workaround.

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

Oops, you already have 1.5.99.902 :) I will check on my own savage.

[Erik Andrén (erik-andren)]

Should I file a bug upstream for this?

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

I am pretty sure this is http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19337 and it should be reported there that even 1.5.99.902 is crashing. Can you check if the savage driver in my PPA does not crash?
