Comment 19 for bug 324465

File new bugs for new crashes please, I don't often review closed bugs (it's just luck that I noticed the comments here).

Ideally apport will catch the crash and help you in doing this automatically. If not, the command 'ubuntu-bug -p xorg-server' will save you some work, although you'll still need to collect the backtrace yourself in this case - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing is the right reference for that.

Fwiw, since we don't know the root cause of this bug, my patches to avoid nullptr derefs are likely going to just move the bug, rather than solve it. I figure that's better than doing nothing and leaving it to crash, but you may need to be persistent with filing new bugs and posting more backtraces as the crash moves.

Oh also, remember after doing a clean install of alpha6 to update to latest code, else you won't have the fix I put in yesterday so of course it would still crash that same way. ;-)
