Brian,

I do not have the Option "Shadow" "True" in my xorg.conf.
If I insert it, restart the GUI and run xglinfo, actually yes I do have a crash !
The GUI disapears and the screen seems in a logged off position but is black with the mouse pointer in the middle of the screen.

When I launch the ubuntu-bug to create the bug, first ubuntu-bug asked me to create a crash file, so I started apport, then re-ran ubuntu-bug, but ubuntu-bug then seems to trigger the X crash when collecting the files ...

I have right now the crash file in /var/crash/_usr_bin_Xorg.0.crash available.

As ubuntu-bug cannot complete, I tried to file the bug with "sudo apport-cli -c /var/crash/_usr_bin_Xorg.0.crash" but this command also crashes the X server ...

I opened the bug directly via Launchpad: number is #640058
I cannot upload the crash file, even gzipped (about 2,5MB) ... too big ?

Best Regards,
Jean-Marie
