xorg-server 1.20.9 doesnot work du to segmentation… [Solved]

[alexela]

Updating the xorg-server and xorg-server-common packages from 1.20.8-3 to 1.20.9-1 (Aarch64) breaks the X-server on my pinebook pro. I've tried both mesa and mesa-git and the failure is the same. Here is the log :

Edit Septembre, 3rd, 2020 : 1.20.9-2 solves that issue. Thanks to whoever did that !

[bloke]

I got this as well, i had to downgrade

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1073692 Aug 26 16:55 xorg-server-1.20.9-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz

breaks X-server on 5.4.59-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 20 14:33:43 UTC 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux

segmentation fault at 0x0

I should probably add this is a Raspberry Pi 4 running dual screens and Arch Linux Arm - x86-video-fbdev driver

Same problem, segfault after upgrading 1.20.8-3 -> 1.20.9-1 on my Pinebook Pro. Hard for me to get error logs off of it, but the backtrace looks the same as alexela's.
