I worked around the crash by not calling DamageUnregister if drawable is 0.

        /* Free damage structure */
        if (xf86_config->rotation_damage_registered)
        {
            DrawablePtr screenDrawable = &pScreen->root->drawable;
            if (screenDrawable) DamageUnregister (screenDrawable,
                              xf86_config->rotation_damage);


This causes a double-free of the damage, likely on the next line.
  DamageDestroy (xf86_config->rotation_damage);


I suspect the issue is that  (xf86_config->rotation_damage_registered)
is independent of the damage being actually valid.

In FreeAllResources it is already destroyed by the point X gets to
CursorCloseScreen.

Doing the check around the whole damage handling workarounds both the
crash and the double free.

I ma not sure this is a very robust solution, though. I wonder if the
damage could be unregistered from the screen when it is destroyed.

Thanks
