Description of problem: After the update to xorg-x11-server-Xorg version 1.4.99.902-3.20080612.fc9.i386, the X session crashes when exiting from dual monitor mode Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.4.99.902-3.20080612.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Turn on dual monitor mode (with xrandr, or using the "screen resolution" application) 2. Do your stuff 3. Turn off dual monitor mode (with xrandr, or using the "screen resolution" application) X crashes immediately, and go back to the gdm prompt. Additional info: I have an intel card, 945GM. No compiz or metacity+compose, gnome desktop.

yup
Same here with a intel GMA X3100 card (dell XPS M1330 laptop). We see it while enabling either VGA or HDMI outputs, any resolution, with xrandr or gnome applet. Downgrading xorg-x11-server-Xorg to 1.4.99.901-29.20080415.fc9.x86_64 makes it work again.
I can confirm that a downgrade eliminates the crash.
With xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.905-1.20080701 from updates-testing, it still crashes the same way.
I'm seeing a similar problem, server crashes when using xrandr. server version is: xorg-x11-server-common-1.4.99.905-1.20080701.fc9.i386. There seems to be at least 3 bug reports open on xrandr crashing the server (bug 451328, bug 451486, and this one), not sure if they are dups or not but switching displays is not fun when you lose all your session apps.
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.0-1.fc9.x86_64 seems to have fixed this here.
Same here, for i386.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
