Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
I'm running Jaunty Alpha 5, which I installed on 28-Feb-2009. I've had a couple of X crashes: one happened when I tried to configure my printer, another when apport was gathering data for an unrelated kernel oops. The crash leaves me back at the login prompt. I would think there was nothing special about what I was doing that would produce a crash.
I'm attaching a tarball containing Xorg.0.log.old (which contains the backtrace), Xorg.0.log, xorg.conf and xsession-errors.
The xorg.conf file is the default one except:
- I have a custom modeline for my monitor's resolution, and
- I have set MigrationHeuristic to "smart" because read elsewhere that this may improve performance.
The first occurrences of the crash happened without setting any MigrationHeuristic, so this should not be causing the problem, and I don't think the modeline should be crashing X either.

Judging by the traceback, I'm moving the bug over to libgl1-mesa-dri. This package got updated recently to version7.3-1ubuntu3 with a changelog:
* Add 103_rs600_ support. patch: Adds support for the RS600 chip and sets
the number of gb pipes properly for r3xx/r5xx cards.
which seems related to the traceback entry:
... dri/r300_ dri.so( _mesa_update_ texture+ 0x2b1) [0xb14e6e01]
3: /usr/lib/
...
Maybe this is a fix for the crashes? I'll report back if the problem is still there.
