Description:
After a recent upgrade my X segfaults. I tracked this down to being caused by xf86-video-nv (be uninstalling it, causing X to use xf86-video-vesa instead). Additional info: xf86-video-nv-2.1.15-1 x86_64 Steps to reproduce: Just install xorg-server and the buggy package. Run X without any config files. |

Either no config file at all, or a minimal one:
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nv"
EndSection
Hardware:
Gotten from `lspci`: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86 [Quadro NVS 290] (rev a1)
Log file: attached
- G80: check
- crash on startup: check
* Kernel : 2.6.31-ARCH
* Graphic Card : nVidia GeForce GTX 260 (lspci -> 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT200 [GeForce GTX 260] (rev a1))
X segfaults after a while, but it seems to crash faster when using GTK apps...
Using the "vesa" driver makes X work fine.
