Description Shlomi Fish 2011-08-19 11:08:51 CEST

Description of problem:

The X server crashes after switching from the screen at Ctrl+Alt+F7 directly to it. Since I'm used for the X being at C-A-F7 instead of C-A-F8, I sometimes go there and to the X server and so get a crash.

I'm getting this in the Xorg.1.log:

Pinging, because nothing has happened with this report for more than 3 months, it still has the status NEW or REOPENED.
