Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

In latest Ubuntu version 11.04, the X server is segfaulting when I try to login in in gdm. Please the Xorg.log.0.old attached.

On the same computer, ubuntu 10.10 is working fine, preventing me to upgrade.

I have tried to login using "Ubuntu classic without effect" version of the desktop, and it happens that it works correctly. So there is problem with the "effects".

Do you have an idea of what I could do to trouble shoot this problem more precisely?

May I update some parts of the intel drivers, xorg server...

Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards
