[SOLVED] Occasional Xorg segfaults on Xen dom0
 
I've managed to work around most of my earlier Xen dom0 issues by setting a fixed dom0 memory size and disabling VT switching in X. However, X still segfaults on startup about a half of the times I try to start it (or XDM tries to start it).

Here is the stack trace from the Xorg log. Note (again) that I cannot use the proprietary firmware required for KMS.

Code:

Any ideas what the problem might be? This is not critical, as X is now stable enough to use once successfully started; but it is annoying.

Solved. Had to disable all hardware acceleration in xorg.conf, X11 now starts up the first time without segfaulting.
