- Multiple X server segmentation faults after upgrade to kernel 2.6.38-11 
+ Multiple X server segmentation faults after upgrade to kernel 2.6.38-11 with -nvidia driver when xfs is installed

** Description changed:

- Since today kernel update (to 2.6.38-11), I experience many segmentation fault problems in my X server which led to a crash in X server and a reboot to the gdm login screen in Ubuntu Natty 11.04 (on a Acer Aspire 6930G with nVidia GeForce 9600M GS). 
+ Since today kernel update (to 2.6.38-11), I experience many segmentation fault problems in my X server which led to a crash in X server and a reboot to the gdm login screen in Ubuntu Natty 11.04 (on a Acer Aspire 6930G with nVidia GeForce 9600M GS).
  I experienced these behaviour if I run the proprietary driver nvidia 173 or the latest available one (280.13).
  
  So far, I encountered three programs which led to the X server crash
  (Virtualbox, Choqok, and CCP4 (a specialized suite of programs written
  in TCL/TK)).  They were all running smoothly before this fatal update.
  
  You'll find attached the /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old produced after noticing
  this bug.
  
  Thank you for taking care of this issue.
