========================Description=============================================

First segmentation fault was random, subsequent faults were consistently caused by running this script:

"chkms.bash uic"

#!/bin/bash
# script to call xrandr in ways I commonly use:
LaptopScreen=LVDS1
ExtVga=VGA1

case $1 in
     may)
     xrandr --output "$ExtVga" --mode 1440x900 --above "$LaptopScreen"
     ;;
     uic)
     xrandr --output "$ExtVga" --mode 1152x864 --right-of "$LaptopScreen"
     ;;
     crt-above)
     xrandr --output "$ExtVga" --mode 1152x864 --above "$LaptopScreen"
     ;;
     *)
     echo "I don't know how to do that one, I can do 'may', 'uic', and 'crt-above'"
     ;;
esac

This:

xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768 --right-of LVDS1

does not cuase a segmentation fault.

another log of the seg fault

This is log is from when I ran the script that should call
"xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1152x864 --right-of LVDS1"
after which Xorg segfaulted.
