I would like to ask a quick favour of my loyal readership (insert cricket chirping sound effect here).
Whenever, I load this page in Firefox 3.0.4, which is a perfectly innocuous page on the OSx86 wiki, my X server crashes, just as if I hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.
I have an NVIDIA GeForce 7600GT, running on Linux 2.6.27-gentoo, with both the open source nv driver, as well as the proprietary driver version 177.82 (also occurs on 177.80).
Does it happen to anybody else? I strongly suspect a video driver bug, as it doesn’t occur on my Eee 901, which is GMA950–based.
Nope, it’s fine for me.
Firefox 3.05, Ubuntu 8.10, linux 2.6.27-9, geforce 8600 GT, nvidia driver 177.82.
Hope that helps!
It displays fine on my laptop; Ubuntu 8.10 (x86_64) with an Intel GM45 chip.
Fine here

Thanks for the feedback. Any suggestions as to how I could go about debugging this?
X doesn’t crash if I wget the HTML from the page and display it in Firefox from a local source. When I do that, CSS, JavaScript, and Flash is broken, so it suggests the problem is in some of the included media.
No crash here, running Ubuntu 8.04 amd64 with an Intel graphics adapter on Firefox 3.0.5. I’d report this on launchpad – the Firefox developers there are very responsive, and will likely give you the info you need to debug it quickly.
Yes, yes, yes. It crashes for me as well.

I think I might have a solution. Try this as root
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=”~x86″ USE=”-sse2″ emerge -av “=xorg-server-1.5.3-r2″
I’m assuming you have gcc 4.1.2, xorg server 1.3.0, and are running x86. So far, the page has stopped crashing X for me. I’m cautiously optimistic. Love to know if it works for you.
