Created attachment 72224 [details]
gdb bt, Xorg log, dmesg, and working xorg.conf

Bug description:
Each time firefox is started it results in a firefox.core file in the home directory. firefox does continue to startup without any more issues. From a gdb backtrace it appears to be a problem in a call to driCreateScreen().  Disabling DRI in an xorg.conf stops firefox creating a core at startup - originally I was not using an xorg.conf so the server configured itself.

System environment:
-- chipset: 82945GME 
-- system architecture: i386
-- xf86-video-intel: 2.12.0
-- xserver: X.Org 7.7 X Server 1.12.2
-- mesa: 7.10.3
-- libdrm: whatever is in OBSD release, sorry.
-- kernel: OpenBSD 5.2 release
-- Linux distribution: OpenBSD
-- Machine or mobo model: Acer Aspire One
-- Display connector:

Reproducing steps:
Start firefox and check home directory when it has finally started.

Additional info:
Use non-root account to reproduce since root does not produce cores by default.

The attachment contains
o a gdb backtrace of a firefox core showing the crash in driCreateScreen()
o The Xorg log for the server which produces a core
o System dmesg
o xorg.conf that stops firefox dumping a core.

This smells like something went bust when installing the mesa drivers - we're calling down into a NULL pointer function ... Anyway, this is mesa, not DRI.

Hello, is this still valid with latest SW and after reinstalling Mesa? Otherwise closing soon. Thank you.
