I don't know if it's related but I have a cheap KVM that makes the screen detection fail *only when I'm not toggled* at the computer when the screen detection occurs.
When I booted my computer my KVM was toggled to my other computer. That has make Xorg use the wrong resolution (800x600). When I toggled back to my Karmic computer I saw the resolution problem and I hit Alt-SysRq-K to restart Xorg. Xorg restarted properly *and* the resolution OK (as it normally is 1600x1200 or so). After that I logged myself and while my session was loading, it froze (no progression) for a few seconds and GDM login screen came back after. I was then able to login properly even if the screen resolution was again at 800x600. -- [Karmic] Xorg crashed with SIGSEGV during gdm login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
