Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-i810

The Xorg works fine when it is first launched. If for some reason I want to restart the X Server, it doesn't work anymore.

When i desactivate Xinerama everything works smoothly.
I noticed that when I try an application like glgears, with xinerama enabled, it crashed the X Server too, but without Xinerama, glgears works.

I attached the Xorg.0.log and my xorg.conf

I'm using Feisty Fawn :
xserver-xorg-video-i810 1.6.5-0ubuntu3
xserver-xorg 7.1.1ubuntu7

Could this be a bug in upstream Xorg ?

Could you please recheck it with Gutsy Final Live CD? In Gutsy i810 driver is deprecated and intel driver is used instead.
Intel driver doesn't support Xinerama anymore but xrandr could be used instead which has some advantages.
