Xorg.0.log

Whenever I use firefox (3.0.3) to go to http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sidux&oldid=25787092 and then click on the link labeled "Zur Löschdiskussion", my X (KDE) restarts [I get thrown back to the kdm login screen]. As X completely restarts, I guess this might be a radeonhd driver bug rather than a firefox bug. I also tried the fglrx driver. With that driver, not only X restarts, but the whole system restarts [All the way back to the BIOS]. If you need any more information, just tell me which :)

System: Linux localhost 2.6.25-gentoo-r7 #1 SMP Fri Oct 17 11:41:12 CEST 2008 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9300 @ 2.50GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Driver: RadeonHD version 1.2.3

Card: Radeon HD2600 Mobile

I don't see a crash with radeonhd and an prerelease of Xserver 1.5.
It's probably not a driver bug but a bug in the Xserver which as been fixed already.
Comment 2 Oliver Putz 2008-11-02 03:29:55 UTC 
Ok, I will revisit this bug once there is an XServer >= 1.5 in the stable tree for gentoo and reopen if this bug should still be valid.

As I said, this seems to be more an Xserver bug than a driver bug. 
The log file you've attached is a new one generated after X has restarted. To find the cause of the crash you'd have to get the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old which is a backup copy of the log file of the previous run.
If you happen to have such a file sitting around (from a previous crash) you can attach it here. Please make sure it was really the one from a crashing server - you should find a backtrace at the end.

I've got info from user from Polish forum that he experience the same problem on notebook with Intel 945 GM and openSUSE 11.0 (that means Xorg 1.4.0.90). Opening some links in Firefox crases X for him.

Requested Xorg.0.log.old

Hi! Sorry for the delay, but here is the requested Xorg.0.log.old (that now indeed contains a short backtrace from an X crash...)
