I'm not able to reproduce this bug on my oneiric box, and unfortunately the stacktrace that was automatically included lacks most of the symbols.

Please collect a full backtrace manually using gdb - see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing for directions (skip down past all the apport directions for the stuff relating to gdb).

Fixed by 221_dixsetprivate_assertion_fix.patch.

Don't worry about gathering the backtrace, this should fix it.

This bug was fixed in the package xorg-server - 2:1.10.4-1ubuntu1

---------------
xorg-server (2:1.10.4-1ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  [ Christopher James Halse Rogers ]
  * Drop i8xx-disablement patch. 2.6.39 and later kernels contain a patch
    which alledgedly fixes the cache-incoherency problems. (LP: #817814)

  [ Ricardo Salveti de Araujo ]
  * debian/patches/112_armel-pvr-drv.patch:
    - Include support for the pvr driver available on OMAP 4 (LP: #828494)

  [ Timo Aaltonen ]
  * Merge from Debian unstable.
    - Fixes Xephyr assert failure in dixGetPrivateAddr (LP: #821090)
  * debian/rules: Modify the patch stampdir creation.
  * Update patch 500_xi2.1.patch to apply.
  * Refresh patches.
  * debian/rules: Add PATH for the xvfb-run check, otherwise Xvfb is not found.
  * debian/rules: Shift the xvfb-run test to be run later, to ensure that the
    binaries are installed.

  [ Bryce Harrington ]
  * debian/rules: Add check target invoking xvfb-run to test that it works
  * debian/control: Add build dependency on xauth, required by xvfb-run

  [ Chase Douglas ]
  * Add fixes for touch grab handling, courtesy of Carlos Garnacho

    - 506_Xi_ensure_touch_events_update_currentTime.patch
    - 507_dix_Ensure_touch_events_are_delivered_to_next_client.patch

xorg-server (2:1.10.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Timo Aaltonen ]
  * New upstream release.

xorg-server (2:1.10.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Cyril Brulebois ]
  * New upstream release (with just a version bump).
  * Remove the Replaces: xdmx from xdmx-tools, that was before lenny.
  * Add a Breaks: libgl1-mesa-dri-no-multiarch, to handle upgrades from
    squeeze-backports (without multiarch) to wheezy (with multiarch).
  * Set urgency to “medium” to speed things up. Migration to testing is
    a prerequisite for squeeze backports.

  [ Julien Cristau ]
  * Merge packaging changes lost from the 1.7 (squeeze) branch:
    + Add Breaks on drivers abandoned between lenny and squeeze. This helps
      apt decide to remove them instead of removing all of X. Thanks, David
      Kalnischkies!
    + Set default xkb rules to evdev on linux, to work around a wrong default in
      configure.ac and an Xorg issue where it reverts to the default on reset.
      Thanks to Bastian Blank for the report.
