Can anyone replicate this bug?, I'm not sure whether to submit this bug to firefox or xorg. It crashes at the same point every time, when I try to use the horizontal scrollbar on this page. I opened firefox in the console and output the text to a file, upon logging back in to x i opened this file and had a message saying firefox lost the x session. I don't know if the bug resides in firefox or X?
I have been told that an app can't crash X. So it is an X driver bug. I had frequent X crashes under wine gcad and other programs. my uinichrome built in hardware did not work with the xorg latest driver for it. I replaced with a Geforce fx 5200 and all is stable except ctrl alt += does not zoom with the nvidia drivers but opengl works but I only have 1280x1024 resolution on a 17" LCD. Non nvidia drivers offer many resolutions but opengl does not function.
File an xorg bug. Paul
