Success story: Looks like I first got bug #774978, then I switched to proprietary nVidia driver and got https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31501 due to > Section "Files" > FontPath "unix/:7100" > EndSection in xorg.conf
After cleanup of xorg.conf and installation of xserver-xorg-input- synaptics patched against #774978 my system became usable. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #31501 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31501 ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Committed ** Also affects: xorg-server via http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31501 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794895 Title: Xorg crashes in doListFontsAndAliases To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/794895/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
