Created attachment 17282 [details] full log without xinerama as soon as i enable xinerama (with or without a second screen configured), the server crashes at the randr initialization (it seems). this might be a driver problem as well - i have no idea.
Created attachment 17283 [details] the part that differs from the non-xinerama startup
Xinerama is deprecated and not supported in the -intel drivers (and other drivers that have been converted to use randr, like radeon and radeonhd). However, X should probably just exit with an informative error message in these situations rather than crash with a cryptic backtrace. See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/211897, and https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16709

Also, for reference: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-April/023988.html
and how would that help me with multiple graphics cards? right, it wouldn't - that is planned for randr 1.3 and won't materialize before early next year, realistically speaking. an error message explaining the situation would be certainly welcome, though.
Mass closure: This bug has been untouched for more than six years, and is not obviously still valid. Please file a new report if you continue to experience issues with a current server.
