Bug#740928: Similar problem

[Pied]

Hi,

I just updated my SID tonight after a couple of weeks, and I have a
similar problem...

- gdm3 doesn't display anything at all
- xdm lets me log in, but then shows the 'oh no' error
- startx shows the 'oh no' error.

`dmesg | grep fault` returns

[  985.748377] gnome-shell[7625]: segfault at c ip 00007f6924755b10 sp
00007fff286a85f8 error 4 in libxcb-glx.so.0.0.0[7f6924748000+15000]


I have also found the following odd behaviour:
X&
starts X, but the mouse does not appear.
Then I run
DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm&
which starts a terminal, but still, I don't have focus, not a mouse
pointer.
I kill with ^C the terminal, and now, X has a pointer. I can now start
apps like xterm, or xmonad and use them. gnome-shell, though, doesn't
work:

(gnome-shell:6404): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strsplit: assertion 'string !=
NULL' failed

(gnome-shell:6404): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter:
The OpenGL version could not be determined
Window manager error: Unable to initialize Clutter.


FWIW, I'm using the latest Catalyst driver from amd's website.


Cheers,

P!
