Description Michael Perlov 2011-03-10 17:23:39 UTC

During the boot process, xdm fail to start with error:

xdm[1613]: segfault at a8 ip b7491747 sp bffa55a0 error 4 in libXt.so.6.0.0[b7477000+51000]

It is possible restart xdm later without any error (/etc/init.d/xdm restart works)

Downgrading libXt to 1.0.9 solved the problem.

Reproducible: Always

libXt bumped to 1.1.1 in upstream (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libXt/commit/?id=c16d3cc264c45601f0e59bdd29e438c7c9679721)
