Xorg crashed with SIGABRT in xf86ModeVRefresh() from drmmode_output_add_gtf_modes() from drmmode_output_get_modes() from xf86ProbeOutputModes() from xf86InitialConfiguration()

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Adopt the fix by Markus on bug 1999852
Verified it on my laptop, it works, and will verify more sku and the target 2.5k panel with 90Hz machines later.

The attachment "0001-hw-xfree86-re-calculate-the-clock-and-refresh-rate.patch" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

Add back the check for xf86ModeVRefresh() returns 0, the patch works on my laptop and the target 2.5k 90Hz panel.
Will submit another MR soon.

Verified on Dell Vostro V3750 (LP: #2000775) that with latest 0001-hw-xfree86-re-calculate-the-clock-and-refresh-rate.patch xserver no longer crashes.

In Kinetic, there is a DEP8 regression on armhf that was not addressed yet:

autopkgtest for openmsx-catapult/18.0-1: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, armhf: Regression ♻ , ppc64el: Pass, s390x: Pass

I see it was retried multiple times, and a migration-reference/0 run passed, so it's indeed a regression with xorg-server/2:21.1.4-2ubuntu1.4. Can someone address it please?

Looks like the DEP8 test is flaky; it has failed with previous non-xorg-server packages as well, and I've just retried it and it has passed.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for xorg-server has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.
