We've carried this patch for a few years, meantime a number of improvements have been made to upstream handling of multi-GPU.
We're going to optimistically drop this patch in hopes that whatever situation led to the crash are long since gone. This bug is kind of a corner case we don't expect very many people to encounter, so this is a low risk way of handling it. However, if anyone does see this still happening, please file a new bug report (and reference this one). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139990 Title: Xorg with two video cards crashes or locks up Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg I am using a dual screen layout: 1600x1200 TFT connected to Intel Q965 integrated graphics and 1280x720 DLP projector connected to ATI Radeon 9250 PCI.
