Xorg: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/
I can confirm this bug.
I upgraded an Asus A6000 laptop from Hardy to Intrepid, and while Hardy worked fine, the colours was horribly messed up in X after the upgrade. I'll be attaching a screenshot as well as a literal screenshot (taken with a camera), so you can compare. It would be good if you could confirm if this indeed is the same bug and that the corruption you're seeing is similar to mine, Jiří.
