I'll leave this closed as fixed, but let me reiterate, this patch does not fix the underlying issue, just a side effect.
Basically, a train has gone off its rails and crashed through a town, and we're just bandaging up a bystander hit by flying debris. The underlying out of memory issue still needs investigated, and will likely exhibit itself in a crash or freeze somewhere else in the system. ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/720445 Title: Xorg crashed with SIGSEGV in _start() -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
