[SOLVED] emacs 26.3 is broken after system upgrade

Dear all,

I just upgraded my system (kernel 5.7.10->5.7.11) and found my emacs doesn't work in GUI mode, the error message list as follows:

Fatal error 11: Segmentation fault

and it still works under CLI mode (by emacs -nw), I wonder how could I fix this problem?

Fallback libx11 to 1.6.9 works for me.

Are you running Gnome?

I'm running Budgie on X11, and I'm seeing the same issue with emacs after upgrading today.

As @expye suggested, falling back to libx11 1.6.9 fixed the issue for me.
