But I suspect it has to do with the changed to vendor neutral libglx (libglx0, libglvnd0, etc.) That would explain why it is happening with Bionic and no other versions before for me. Can someone reproduce this? In your Display Manager switch to a VT (or deinstall display manager temporarily) and modify/create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection And sudo service lightdm/gdm3 stop and then try to start the Xserver/Xsession with startx or xinit.
