ok, right now getting X to freeze/lock up instead of exit when starting xterm. tested in gnome-panel, gnome-shell, and unity sessions also seeing this in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old (should correspond to gnome-panel and unity attempts, respectively): /var/log/Xorg.0.log: [

Nothing particularly unusual I think... gfx card is a ATI Technologies Inc Broadway PRO [Mobility Radeon HD 5800 Series]; probably most unusual part of setup is 1920x1080 laptop screen attached to 1920x1200 monitor. Definitely no idea why malloc would fail. This worked in oneiric until around whe

Hmm, the code is failing on this line in exa_migration_mixed.c in the server: pExaPixmap->sys_ptr = malloc(pExaPixmap->sys_pitch * pPixmap->drawable.height); However the backtrace doesn't indicate what the values are for sys_pitch or drawable.h

not sure if related, but as of today* noticing weird potentially damage- related issues in gnome-terminal/chromium-browser: if i have two tabs open and switch between them, the terminal/tab display doesn't always update. Sometimes only the tab contents get repainted, sometimes only the tab itself

@Joe, could you collect a full backtrace on this bug? I think it'd provide some better details than was captured in that log. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing for guidance on collecting backtraces. In this case I think skip the apport bits, and use gdb directly. ** Changed in: xorg-serv

@Thomas, it does sound like a compiz bug, however "CompositorRunning: None" indicates no compiz. (I thought that would detect gnome- shell/mutter too but perhaps not). In any case, GdmLog2.txt shows: *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/Xorg: free(): corrupted unsorted chunks: 0x02b844c0 ***

Are you using lightdm or gdm? Can you attach your .xsession-errors file from after reproducing the bug? You mentioned the regression started just recently; could you narrow down on a date range? We haven't had much change in X, so it's possible the bug is due to something else; knowing roughly w
