[Bug 152505] [NEW] gdmgreeter segfaults when XRandR is not available

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Binary package hint: gdm

A recent update (likely:
 [ Matthew Garrett ]
   * debian/patches/63_xrandr_virtual.patch:
     - on randr1.0 drivers, set the virtual to the screen resolution in
       order to avoid panning setups (part of LP: #137517))
caused gdmgreeter to start segfaulting on startup.  Upon investigation, I had Xinerama enabled in my xorg.conf (which disables XRandR).  After removing the Xinerama option, gdmgreeter starts successfully.  I'm using the nvidia-glx-new drivers

I'll attach a backtrace of gdmgreeter with Xinerama enabled.

It's possible that this is a duplicate of bug: #152208, but that bug
seems sufficiently different to file a new one.

** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu)
     Importance: High
         Status: Fix Released
