Bug#382641: xserver-xorg: View Source Chart extension in F..

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.22
Severity: important


When I try and use the View Source Chart extension in Mozilla Firefox, Xorg segfaults.
I get thrown out of X, and have to log back in again. If I run the copy of Firefox on
a Sarge machine via SSH, then Firefox works perfectly on that machine.

Here is the relavent chunk from /var/log/messages

I'm running the nVidia proprieatary drivers.

It's very reporducable on my system, so I can do some tests if it will help, e.g. try
the nv driver, or different X settings.

This is pretty likely to be a problem with the nvidia driver. Could you
test this with nv or vesa and let us know if it's still a problem?
