Or do a bugreport for X / your distro! :)
But I just tried bothering our X developers, but mentioning the Xorg "ati" driver (for my Radeon Mobility) just causes laughs. :/
Yep.
For a while my X server was crashing whenever I would exit MythTV or run the Wine tests. It turns out the ATI drivers (or X itself, I'm not sure) have a bug which is triggered when DRI is disabled, but the X developers did not seem interested in fixing it. For me DRI got disabled because the radeon_dri.so file got moved to another Debian package during an upgrade and thus was missing. Hopefully this bit of info can help others who get X crashes when running the Wine tests.
