Description:
I can reproduce this whit znes (multilib), doukutsu (aur), and airlines-tycoon (buyable, free demo available)
if an app linked to SDL run in full screen cause a X segfault and crash.
all are linked to libSDL and the airlines to a internal (in install dir) old version, but in all cases a full screen make a crash
older versions from X 1.13.1 last to work for me not crash and show that app
no, my video is xf86-video-modesetting

* Xorg-server 1.14.1

Steps to reproduce:

Which video driver do you use?
Can't reproduce the segfault here.

Can you provide backtraces? You can usually find these in Xorg.0.log or Xorg.0.log.old. Note that the file could be named different if you're using a display manager like gdm (sometimes your session doesn't run on screen 0).

Please fill a bug upstream https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ then post the link here

Please also consider rebuilding packages with debugging informations enabled. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Debug_-_Getting_Traces

I hit the same issue and have found the reason for the crash already, but do not know how to fix it. This is an upstream bug.

@Peter Wu

It is better to put a link to a bugreport or some informations.
Such comment is only annoying and useless, please avoid.

Yes, I tried it already from git. I am no longer able to crash QEMU 1.4.1 by going full-screen.
