Bug Description

Don't know why xorg-server just stops working now and then. I guess it's because I don't have any drivers for my nvidia card?

Unfortunately all the most interesting bits are being optimized out in this stacktrace. However it appears something was wrong in the xorg.conf

Are you still experiencing this crash? Can you attach your xorg.conf? (And anything in /etc/xorg.conf.d)

Also, would you be able to collect a backtrace manually? (See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing for some guidance.)

Dear Bryce,

I really hope that I haven't caused the "optimized-out-problem". If so, do
you know what I have done so that I can correct my self in the future?

After testing 11.04 for a couple of days I had to remove it and reinstall
10.10 again. I experienced some problems with installing applications that I
would like to use, this probably due to my lacking experience with linux. As
you probably realize by now, I don't have files that you would like to see.

If there is any thing else that I can contribute with please don't hesitate
to contact me again. If my hardware setup is of any help:

Motherboard: ASUS P7P55D-E
Ubuntu x64 running on: OCZ Vertex 2 Series 60GB
Graphics card: Sapphire Radeon HD5770 1GB GDDR5 PCIE

best regards
Joel

Hi LaBero,

No, the packages are optimized by default, so definitely not your fault. But aside from building non-optimized packages not sure we can work around that. But maybe we can investigate this from another angle.

Please attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file

I hope the apport-collect still gives you the information that you are
looking for.

Hmm, this is a bit confusing.

In the original bug report you mentioned that you have an nvidia card, yet all of your files show a radeon card, no evidence any nvidia card is present. I think your maverick logs aren't helping explain the situation.

I'm going to drop the oneiric tag, this doesn't appear to be an actionable bug after all. It'll need to be re-tested against oneiric, and/or better explanation about the configuration inconsistency provided.
