Xorg crashed with SIGSEGV in DamageUnregister()

[hajeco]

Booting up from Jaunty Live-CD in safe-mode, acpi disabled and with irqpoll
enters into a text-mode screen.

Then given a startx command, the graphic screen comes up with a crash notification.

Hi, you could try to launch Ubuntu 9.04 LiveCD disabling usplash-theme which can create some problems with certain graphic cards. At start menu, add 'nosplash' option without any other option like irqpoll, acpioff, safe-mode... Your system will startup in text-mode and, after total loading, access windows will normally appear. so, I hope...

Good luck.
