Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.0.23
Severity: normal

I was playing warzone2100 (http://wz.rootzilla.de/site/) which is a heavy opengl application if I switch to 
console mode( CTRL + ALT + F*)  while the game is in fullscreen and the graphics is under heavy load Xorg will segfault 

I have tryed this bug several times and Xorg segfaults everytime, I get messages like this: 
Xorg[27542]: segfault at 00007fff72a7cff8 rip 0000000000838f8d rsp 00007fff72a7d000 error 6
Xorg[22959]: segfault at 00007fffbc2aafc8 rip 00000000008ec756 rsp 00007fffbc2aafd0 error 6
in my dmesg, one for every crash.

I am running the game from my chroot which I created with this howto: 
https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html

I couldnot try the bug for other games/apps since I dont know of any other opengl app the makes heavy use of graphics 
and runs in fullscreen. I was kind of unsure of the serverity on this one because this could cause data lose being that 
the entire xorg session is lost but at the same time this is a very special case bug.

Also I am running the nvidia proprietary graphics driver.

I can not say for sure, but it seems like, something in the Xorg upgrade change a symlink or something to some file that the nvidia package needs for OpenGL. Or that the older Nvidia drivers isn't fully compatible with the newer Xorg.

Closing per submitter. This was an issue in the nvidia driver and simply
needed an update from them. Thanks for following up.
