Hi - any chance you could install the debug symbols package? it's probably xserver-xorg-video-intel-dbg.
Then trigger the backtrace again (or examine the core dump with gdb if you have core dumps enabled).

I installed the debug symbols. This is the resulting backtrace from Xorg.0.log.old:

Installing the debug symbols didn't change the information in the backtrace.
Do you need other information?

I added xserver-xorg-core-dbg. Besides xserver-xorg-video-intel-dbg these are the only installed packages with dbg or debug in their name.

I forgot to mention (and there doesn't seem to be an option to edit a message):
the output in Xorg.0.log.old is still the same.

Ok - even if the Xorg log has the same output it could be worth you
capturing the core dump and pointing gdb at it. It's pretty straightforward
to do - if you want some instructions let me know. -

Where would I find the core dump (if one was made)?
I tried to run gdb /usr/bin/xtrkcad, but that resulted in the gdb saying ""/usr/bin/xtrkcad": not in executable format: File format not recognized".
So yes please, your instructions are welcome.

~$ ulimit -c unlimited
~$ sysctl -w kernel.core_pattern=/tmp/core.%p
~$ /usr/bin/xtrkcadThen when it dumps core file will be in /tmp/core.<PID>
Sounds like /usr/bin/xtrkcad might be a script, in which case you can have
a look inside and see how the real xtrcad is invoked (should you happen to be curious)Once you have a core file:
~$ gdb /path/to/actual/binary /tmp/core.<PID>
> btor
> bt full

I tried your instructions, but no core dump seems to be created.
/usr/bin/xtrkcad is indeed a script. It sets an environment variable to /usr/lib/xtrkcad and then runs xtrkcad from that path.
Hello,
I am using Linux Mint 17.1 (based on Ubuntu 14.04, kernel 3.13.0-37-generic), 64-bit Cinnamon edition.
I have installed the Intel graphics driver via the 1.0.7 installer.
I am using the railway layout design application XtrkCad, version 4.0.2, which I installed from the repositories (this is the latest non-beta version). It always worked great, until some time ago. When I open a track layout I created earlier the X server crashes and I am returned to the login screen. The Xorg log shows a segmentation fault.
Sometimes this does not happen when opening the track layout file, but when resizing the XtrkCad window.
When doing the same in a VirtualBox virtual machine, with the same versions of Linux Mint and XtrkCad, everything runs fine. Main difference: the virtual machine uses the VirtualBox video driver instead of the Intel driver on the physical system.
The physical system has an Asus Vanguard B85 motherboard, with a Core i7-4770S. I am using the integrated graphics controller.
So far I have not been able to uninstall the Intel graphics driver, to see if that solves the problem.
How can I uninstall the Intel graphics driver (and keep a functional system ;-) so I can try an older version or a generic driver?
Here is the error message in Xorg.log:
