Created attachment 389462 [details] X log file that shows the backtrace and consequent abort Description of problem: I usually manually update X with koji builds, starting from xorg-x11-server-1.7.4-7.x86_64 I experience a segfault at every start. Same goes for xorg-x11-server-1.7.4.902-1.x86_64. My system is a Compal JFL92 laptop with a Nvidia GeForce 8600M video card, using nouveau driver. Plymouth works fine, the problem occours when screen tries to switch to X. The attached Xorg.0.log shows the backtrace. Let me know how I can gather more useful debug informations. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-1.7.4-7.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-1.7.4.902-1.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. update xorg-x11-server to something >= 1.7.4-7 2. reboot 3. X fails to load (plymouth fine)

I can confirm this doesn't occur with machines using the radeon driver, tomorrow I'll be able to test it on a PC with a different nvidia card (7600GS AGP).
