Seeing this problem in Natty. Ajax's patch works for me, although needing the following modifications in Natty due to the KdScreenInfo data structure definition changing -
screen->fb[0].depth
screen->fb[0].bitsPerPixel
should be:
screen->fb.depth
screen->fb.bitsPerPixel
Xephyr would not launch for me, now it does.
Last time around, Keith Packard wanted a more robust patch to deal with this, so that seems to be the requirements for Xephyr. I don't think Ubuntu's criteria is as high for this, and we can probably have the package patched locally with Ajax's patch.
