Thanks for the backtrace Philippe.  This indicates what function the
crash occurred, however doesn't give us much in the way of state.  The
crashes are definitely happening in xserver code rather than in the
driver, which is good in a way since we may have a chance at solving it,
but it would be helpful to have the additional information a full
backtrace would provide.  Could you please install the dbg packages for
xserver, reproduce the crash in gdb, and collect a 'backtrace full'?
See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing for more guidance.

** Summary changed:

- Xephyr crashes with Segmentation fault on LPIA arch
+ Xephyr crashes with Segmentation fault in fbOddTile/memcpy() on LPIA arch

** Description changed:

  When trying to run `xephyr :1` on Intrepid LPIA, the Xephyr window shows
  up but then crashes immediately. This is a completely new virtual
  machine built with the command
  
  ubuntu-vm-builder kvm intrepid -v --arch lpia --debug
  
  This is more information about the setup;
  
  uname -a
  Linux ubuntu 2.6.24-4-lpia #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 13:13:03 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
  
  ii  xserver-xephyr 2:1.5.2-2ubuntu3 nested X server
