Hi.

I upgraded kernel to 2.6.17 and xserver stopped working. I tried both
DRI enabled and disabled. I also tried disabling all modules and removing
all font directories, it didn't help.

The Xserver receives SIGSEG:

Backtrace:
0: /usr/bin/X11/X(xf86SigHandler+0x88) [0x80b8d98]
1: [0xffffe420]
2: /usr/bin/X11/X(main+0x5cc) [0x806e46c]
3: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xd0) [0xb7d51eb0]
4: /usr/bin/X11/X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x91) [0x806d881]

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting


This is the trace with ati driver. I also tried vesa, the trace also
started with xf86SigHandler+0x88 and ended with FontFileCompleteXLFD,
but it has a few more lines between.
