Well, if you have xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk installed, you're not seeing a crash in plain xserver-xfree86 when you don't use the debugging server, you're seeing a crash in xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk. Please remove that package and see if you can reproduce the problem with plain xserver-xfree86. > All of the above happened between Wed Jun 9th, 2004 and today Tue Jun > 15th, 2004.
