Re: upgrade to X 1.20.0 broken

I had the same issue after an update yesterday on my Thinkpad T410 with a GeForce 9100M running Debian Sid using Nouveau display drivers.  The problem seemed to be caused by the Xfce compositor as disabling it let me log in normally.  Other window managers also seemed to work (WindowMaker in my case)

Hello,

I am running sid, and updated to X.org 1.20.0. Since then I cannot login.

I am running lightdm with xfce. lightdm comes up just fine, but when I login,
after a second or two, it comes back to the lightdm login screen. I have
an old
graphics card (EVGA 6600GT) and monitor (NEC 1970GX) from 2005. They use the
nouveau display driver.

Has anyone else run into this problem? I am not sure if this is an
xserver-xorg-core problem or an nouveau problem. The only change for nouveau
that I am aware of is that xserver-xorg-video-nouveau was rebuilt against
xserver 1.20.

Below are the error messages that I could find. I'm not sure how to interpret
the backtrace.
