Hi,
since the last xorg update my xserver fails to start when executing startx. It says something about a segmentation fault (I am not a good c programmer to know, how to work around this, yet)(the trace is attached) in the xserver or the nv driver.
The problem with /dev/fb0 was there before the update, too, so I doubt, that this is the cause of the error.
Even updating xorg-server to 1.7.1 didn't help.
Is anyone familiar with this problem, or has any suggestions? Thanks for your answers in advance.

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.x.org for help. Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.
Remember that the server is not necessarily ABI compatible between upgrades, thus you should rebuild your drivers (xf86-{input,video}-*) every time you upgrade xorg-server.
