Thanks for the backtrace, that was helpful.  It looks like the code doesn't fail gracefully when it fails to find the LVDS native mode:

(WW) NV(0): Failed to find LVDS native mode

Assigning.  The fact that GetLVDSNativeMode is failing is a little concerning, but please file a separate bug for that.

Hi Aaron,
perhaps an additional hint, I just tested xf86-video-nouveau-9999. It seems that it works without problems with xorg-server-1.7.1. what do you mean with your remark, that I should file a separate bug with failing GetLVDSNativeMode. 
I don't know, what it means that the GetLVDSNativeMode is failing and I don't know, where I should file this bug.

Regards Juergen

Hi,
it crashing with nvidia binary driver as well. Bt looks similar.

Xorg starts, kde applications works correctly, but when I started Gimp, it crashes soon or later. And in Thubderbird I have one message that always causes the same crash. Seems to be gtk related. 

Patch xserver-1.7.1-window-pictures.patch from Fedora src.rpm solved the issue for me.

Hi Marian,

could you please describe a little bit more in detail, what you did in using the xserver-1.7.1-window-pictures.patch.

I downloaded xorg-x11-server-1.7.1-6.fc12.src.rpm, extracted xserver-1.7.1-window-pictures.patch, created a /usr/local/portage/x11-base/xorg-server overlay and copied xserver-1.7.1-window-pictures.patch into the /usr/local/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/files directory.

But I don't know, whether I need a additional 'epatch ${FILESDIR}"/"${PN}"-window-pictures.patch' statement or whether all files in the files directory are automatically taken into account.

(In reply to comment #6)

Hi,
you have to add patch to ebuild. Patches are not automatically included as there can be patches for different ebuild versions.

    )

The patch of Comment #5 does not solve the issue for me. Even though I compiled with CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -ggdb" FEATURES="... splitdebug ..." I see less Debugging output:

you'll get debugging output by using gdb, not directly from the
server...

If I run X under gdb, I get essentially the same information:

Same error on NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT.

Nobody is supporting xf86-video-nv and it will be going away at some point in the future. If your problem persists with nouveau or the proprietary driver provided by nVidia, please re-file accordingly. We apologize for the inconvenience.
