I've tested using Hardy Alpha-3 LiveCD. It boots up okay, and looking at
the Xorg.log I see that X uses the openchrome driver.

glxinfo then runs ok - completes with no segmentation fault.

So yes, using the openchrome driver fixes this problem - so I guess you
can mark this bug as fixed in the Hardy release.


Note though that glxinfo (and glxgears) do print message that I haven't 
investigated whent they start:

do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly.
Try running with LIBGL_THROTTLE_REFRESH and LIBL_SYNC_REFRESH unset.

Also I notice in glxgears and on preview of the various 3D screensavers
that moving the mouse over the display area creates a distortion - so
this driver has problems of its own. If that is not a known bug then let
me know what package to file against and I'll happily open a new bug
specifically for that.
