Bug Description
This laptop has a native resolution of 1280x768 which is not supported by Dapper out of the box (uses 1024x768). In Breezy, 915resolution could be used to set an entry in the table for 1280x768x32 and everything would work fine.
If I set this entry on Dapper and start the X server with a mode of "1024x768" then everything is OK (except for the fact that the screen isn't in its native resolution). If I change the xorg.conf file to have the mode of "1280x768" (having added this mode using 915resolution) then the X server segfaults.
The segfault occurs after logging in at gdm. The gdm login screen comes up fine. It's only after successfully entering username and password that the crash occurs.
Hardware information follows. See attached X server logfile for the crash.
