Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
A recent update (likely:
[ Matthew Garrett ]
* debian/patches/63_xrandr_virtual.patch:
- on randr1.0 drivers, set the virtual to the screen resolution in
order to avoid panning setups (part of LP: #137517))
caused gdmgreeter to start segfaulting on startup. Upon investigation, I had
Xinerama enabled in my xorg.conf (which disables XRandR). After removing the
Xinerama option, gdmgreeter starts successfully. I'm using the nvidia-glx-new
drivers
I'll attach a backtrace of gdmgreeter with Xinerama enabled.
It's possible that this is a duplicate of bug: #152208, but that bug
seems sufficiently different to file a new one.
