Bug#195134: xlibmesa3-gl: X crashes in certain situations
Package: xlibmesa3-gl
Version: 4.2.1-6
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
The problem seems to lie in r128_drv.o
X crashes when viewing certain web pages with Mozilla 1.3
(Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312).
One of these web pages is http://packages.debian.org
There are many other web pages that also crash X.
While I am very happy with the driver, it is certainly
a nuisance to not be able to visit all my bookmarks
with my favorite browser.
The problem may or may not be caused by an unresolved symbol as
reported when starting X:
Symbol drmR128TextureBlit from module
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved!
My debian situation is that I use the stable distribution, plus
a few X packages in testing, because of the Ultra 128 support.
My x log is available at http://kaliyuga.ath.cx/debian/bugs/xlibmesa3-gl/1
as is my list of installed debian packages.
If you need help tracking the cause of this problem, please
don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks for all your work!
Guus.
