Xorg.log

I followed the instructions on http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallNouveau and installed the kernel repository, the nouveau kernel driver, the nouveau xorg driver and libdrm from git (as of 3rd of December 2010).
When starting X using startx I get a segfault. dmesg and Xorg.log are attached. Any ideas what I can do next?

There is a recent regression in Mesa git that happens on nvfx (and maybe also nv50). Till this is fixed, disable AIGLX in your xorg.conf and/or do not install Nouveau mesa driver system wide.

It seems you didn't install libdrm properly. Make sure the header files are in the correct location, too.

Could you please try this and come back to this bugreport, whether it is working for you? Thanks.

As Lucas pointed out, it's libdrm installation problem.
Closing as INVALID.
