Description of problem: I upgraded to current rawhide, and discovered that gdm crashes. There are some SELinux AVCs, but the problem also emerges with selinux=0 This is on a macbook. Video h/w appears to be 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.21.2-0.2007.11.20.6.fc9 See attached boot log.

Ok, so haldaemon is failing to start with selinux=1. Should that cause gdm to crash? X is still crashing with selinux=0, see the log I just attached.
reassigning to X. If X crashes there isn't much we can do for GDM. We should fix the "segfault if hal isn't around" issue, too, of course.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
Created attachment 290015 [details] xorg.conf As requested.
Created attachment 290016 [details] old log file -- the one which was generated during the crash, i think
Created attachment 290017 [details] current x.org log -- i believe the X server has tried to restart, but no display & no keyboard/mouse response
Created attachment 290020 [details] after reboot with no xorg.conf file Getting a similar outcome, e.g. switching to 'detailed' view during graphical boot shows corrupted text lines (possibly just the ones being displayed, rather than ones which were generated before display) & crash in response to action which display the corruption. Also happens if I wait until login then un-hide a task bar -- the text on the task bar is corrupt & then X crashes.
Also, it's a bit different this time, in that keys I type are displayed in what looks like normal text mode, and it turns out also that I can switch to normal VTs with "alt-FN" (don't need ctrl-).
What version of -drv-i810 is this with?
I've since reinstalled that machine (it was unusable) and will let you know if I go back to rawhide or similar and see it again.
