I just restarted Evolution (but did not reboot my system or make any other changes) and now Evolution is crashing for me in the identical way described here. I literally just quit Evolution, it was running fine, and restarted it and now it just crashes with the same stacktrace shown above, a null pointer passed to g_ascii_strtoull() (will add it as an attachment) after this error:
(evolution:14770): GLib-CRITICAL **: 19:35:04.237: g_strsplit: assertion 'string != NULL' failed I'm now a little afraid to restart my system in case more things start to fail. FYI, glxinfo shows: $ glxinfo name of display: :1 X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 154 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 24 (X_GLXCreateNewContext) Value in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 93 Current serial number in output stream: 94 I think if nothing else, a bug should be filed with libcogl asking them to be more defensive in their programming here and handle badly formatted GPU version string. For example in my backtrace I can clearly see that the strings being taken from the context are all null, and that _cogl_gpu_info_parse_version_string() simply passes this to g_ascii_strtoull() without checking.

I also edited the xorg.conf accordingly. Now I can no longer start evolution. It crashes with a segfault. I cannot reproduce the segfault with other clutter apps. Attached is a backtrace of the crash, my xorg.conf, and the Xorg log.
