full backtrace

When I enable SWcursor in xorg.conf and reboot, I get to the login
screen and enter my user name and password as usual. After pressing
enter, I once saw my background image, other times it's just black. Then
X crashes before I see anything else. I get back to the login screen and
can do the whole fun thing again countless times.

This is on the latest Ubuntu (9.04). Launchpad bug 371405.

think the same typo can be found in the old code anyway. Any chance for
a 1.6 fix?

BTW (for understanding the bug triaging practices) why is this bug
Notourbug? If it is fixed in xserver it would be Fixed, no?

It looks like a different issue then.

It's not an xf86-video-ati bug, it's presumably an xserver bug, re-
opening as such.

looks like cursor_screen_priv is NULL.  maybe some issue with
dixLookupPrivate()?  I don't know that code well enough.

I ran into the same problem on my system and this patch seems to fix it.

Proposed patch

Jim's patch didn't build for me, however, I've attached a very similar
patch, which I've been using with X server 1.7 and 1.8 with enabled
software cursors for a month now without any issues. Could someone
please push this to master?
