Hi michael-alft,

Could you please collect a full backtrace from when this crash occurs? Directions on collecting full backtraces are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing

[This is an automated message. Apologies if it has reached you inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Not obvious to me what's going on, but there's probably enough info. This should go upstream.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Are you using VirtualBox when seeing this crash? If so, what version? Perhaps this is just an instance of #301028

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Thanks for reporting this issue. VirtualBox provides its own X driver, and this seems to be an issue with that. Reassigning

[Felix Geyer (debfx)]

What host/guest OS are you running?
What version of VirtualBox/VirtualBox Guest Additions are you using?
When does the X sever crash (only once/sporadical/frequently/at a specific point)?
Please also attach the VirtualBox log file (Main Window: Machine -> Show Log).
