Xorg crashed with SIGABRT in DamageRegister()

[Axel Siebenwirth]

After booting freshly installed Ubuntu 14.10 the lightdm greeter comes up for a maximum of a second, crashes and restarts. That can happen up to three times. This can be reproduced each time.

My laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad W500) has two switchable graphics adapters (Intel & ATI).
