Serious bug ... xserver-xorg-core update kills X

[João Pinto]

Do you have any information that the bug is not triggered using the vesa 
driver ? The specification looks good but this problem is not really 
related to it.

Humans do mistakes, thats why there are QA practices and rules, due to 
the massive ammount of users affected with this update and assuming 
there are proper quality assurance procedures established, they were not 
applied or they need to be reviewed.

Anyway I still love Ubuntu and I am sure this error will lead to quality 
improvement for the future updates.

Best regards,
