xorg log from failed start

X with current HEAD (46af1ff126f3fb1f9470b0cbb19c7c2b09d5b92a) won't start at all. I see only a cursor on the left top. It is caused by some commit in the range of these:
1d2fa5731b7ecfe34a8af809e45bcd3b0b70c890

No errors/warnings there. Any other logs (xdm, gdm, xsession-errors, dmesg)?

Not at all. This was tested only with X + xterm. X "graphics" is not started in the failing case, it's still in "text mode" (it's actually a fb console with proper LCD resolution).

And I attached a worng file. I had to restart X to have graphics back again and forgot to attach .old log file.

OK, it was a linker error: a missing symbol. git clean -f -x helped as usual.

That's a relief, thanks!
