It may be a problem with TTF rendering (and you use them very early so
you are not able to launch your environment, try to start X with "X"
and launch Mozilla, then on www.yahoo.com, you will get a
segfault). The two solutions are to
- change the rendering engine for TTF (don't know what is the second
one)
- use older dri-trunk.
