[Sorry for the previous unintended test message I sent to the list]. Hi. I had a bizarre X server crash after updating the packages on my KVM guest running 10.1-RELEASE-p9 (Debian-8 host). X server with VESA driver crashes with signal 4 (illegal instruction) when console is set to 'sc' but not when it is 'vt'. After some tests, I've isolated this to be related to QEMU, as same config VirtualBox instance runs updated xorg/driver packages fine. I also tested it on a laptop with Nvidia driver, and no problems there, too. The simple fix for me to get my KVM instance back up and running XFCE4 was to set 'kern.vty=vt' in boot loader conf. Although my problem is fixed, I am curious why the Xorg update to 7.7_2 may exhibit such behavior in KVM. Thank you, Emre.
