Comment 2 Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 2011-10-08 23:53:01 UTC 
Is this a regression?  What was the last build that behaved as expected?
Comment 3 Michal Suchanek 2011-10-09 00:57:58 UTC 
Not sure. There has been this bug like forever but maybe there was a time when it was fixed.
Comment 4 Michal Suchanek 2011-10-09 02:17:11 UTC 
Actually that was before input hotplug so it must be something different now.

Should be possible to reproduce in a virtual machine so might be able to test ancient X servers no longer installable normally.
Comment 5 Michal Suchanek 2011-10-09 06:16:21 UTC 
I tried 1.7.7 and 1.10.3 in qemu.

The bug cannot be reproduced because the X server crashes on reset.

The cirrus driver fails when the X server is reset on an inactive terminal leading to X server quitting.

The vmwgfx driver crashes instead.

This is a mass change of bugs. Bugs assigned to me that haven't been updated in the last 3 years are closed as WONTFIX, because, well, let's at least be honest about it.

Please do not re-open unless you have a really good reason to do so (e.g. you're fixing it yourself). If it hasn't been fixed in the last 3 years, it probably won't be fixed anytime soon either. Sorry.
