Bug#540077: xserver-xorg-video-intel: [UXA][GM965] Xorg crashes, X server fails to start
Hi Brice!
Bug is not related to xserver-xorg-video-intel, you can safely close it.
Today i tried firstly 2.7.1 version, then after the same crash i tried
all versions found on your page.
Long story short -- they are all crashed with the same backtrace.
At this point it was obvious that something _else_ changed, that
prevented X from start. After a long examination i spotted that
something during one of the updates changed /tmp permissions to 0755
-- and after fixing that everything started working.
I'll try to find what caused it, and post on the bug page in case
someone else face the same behaviour.
I just wasn't expecting the _crash_ from X, but rather something like
"write error".
regards,
if
