It is a complete accident that this is working for you now.  Normally 
mixing repositories is a great way to screw up your system.  Please be 
sure that there are bugs filed for that X driver problem.

No, the cdpinger thing is a known and unrelated problem.

Segfault in ldm is new.  It is possible that ldm just was never used on 
x86-64 before and bug fixes to work on 64bit.  We could use gdb 
tracebacks with full debuginfo, but that is a bit complicated because 
you probably need to do it with core dumps.  It is also less feasible in 
your case because of the screwed up mixed F8/F9 chroot.
