Hi Malte,

Thanks I had a chance to investigate this a bit.  The backtrace seems
pretty clear from that where the segmentation fault is happening,
although it's a bit perplexing how the server can get into that
particular state.  Maybe SDL is futzing up the server's modes data
somehow.  Seems quite plausible that this and bug 298094 have the same
root cause.  I reviewed the edid in that bug and it *seems* okay,
although your xrandr output indicates that something obviously isn't
wrong.  Maybe the xserver's edid parser has a bug in it, but we'll leave
that analysis to the other bug.

Anyway, whatever the root cause, this seems to be a crash in the
xserver's video selection logic, attached is a change that should patch
up that crash at least.
