Subject: xserver-xorg-video-radeon: SEGV when starting X11
Package: xserver-xorg-video-radeon
Version: 1:7.9.0-1
Justification: renders package unusable

Not really, this doesn't affect everybody.

Doesn't look the same.

thanks for the prompt reply! :)

this bug is reported against video-radeon, while linked one is about
video-amdgpu. is the affected code base common for both drivers?

Indeed, my bad. The corresponding radeon commit is
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/commit/?id=4c91f36d3058180b5a2d6a23e9b82f5c933d8716

Not common, but regularly synced.

ok - thanks. :) knowing the exact conditions under which SEGV occurs
(i.e. rotated screen in xorg.conf), i agree it is not a "grave" bug.

It's even more specific than that: The crash only happens if xorg.conf
contains rotation and a Virtual stanza (which BTW is probably useless in
this case anyway).

when the fix is expected to arrive to the xserver-xorg-video-radeon
package in Debian-testing?

I have to defer to the Debian packagers on that. Upstream it'll likely
only be in the 7.10.0 release.
