Created attachment 35326 [details] [review] Fix the crash This is a trivial patch to fix the crash, but it doesn't seem as simple as that to get NoAccel to work right again after RANDR1.2 code introduction. I get a black screen after starting up LXDE. Everything seems to work fine without accel only after switching back to console and then back to X again - then display appears and things work. Couldn't reproduce the issue myself anymore either, as well as many others. So even if in some circumstances the initialization fails without forcing it with a VT switch, the crash fix is still worth it, as it will work for most people then, if not all. So I've pushed this. |

Created attachment 35145 [details] Xorg.log with backtrace When fed a minimal xorg.conf as follow: Section "Device" Identifier "Geode Video" Driver "geode" Option "NoAccel" "true" EndSection xf86-video-geode 2.11.8 running on an X server 1.7 crashes with a segfault. Xorg.log including the backtrace is attached. PS: never mind the 2.11.7 version in the log. This really is a 2.11.8 driver.
