Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

This crash occurred after updating my Jaunty install since Friday 2008-12-12.

I had to change to fbdev and install that package before getting X back in any form. I was also suprised to see that the i865 driver no longer works with my device.

I'm attaching the log of the crashed X execution with ModeDebug and FallBackDebug enabled.

And yet another confirmation, since xserver 1.6 was put to Ubuntu development version and I encountered the problem via that. Reverting the mentioned commit fixed the problem for me. Using 965 (GMA X3100) on a laptop.

I guess you mean this commit, but it's not on server-1.6-branch:

Use scrn->virtualX/virtualY in xf86CrtcFitsScreen. Fix bug 19017. pScreen->width/height are not initialized when doing initial mode setting, which makes this function incorrectly fail. Using scrn->virtualX should work in all cases though.
Bug 19017 reports a crash in xf86CrtcSetModeTransform when doing a modeset for output probing, long before the screen array is initialized; that was caused by a work-around to set pScreen->width/height so that xf86CrtcFitsScreen could find the right values.

The initial patch was broken, master needs 063eb6743cd0d98dd52d1a9559b804381ee5144d and server-1.6-branch needs 09039fb89f3fd047f10b575e019bba6762448456

I tested GM45 and GM965 on both master and server-1.6-branch and with both patches applied, both work fine.
