Bug Description
We see frequent application crashes on Menlow when the 3D drivers are on the system.
To reproduce:
1) Install the proprietary 8.04.1a UME image
2) Open an xterm, run 'sudo apt-get install firefox'
3) Launch firefox via 'firefox --sync'
4) Visit youtube.com; watch movies. Firefox will crash quickly, <1min
We have reproduced on a D1 crown beach with a 15" CRT at 1024x768 attached. We cannot reproduce if we move Xpsb.so aside and reboot.
Firefox will crash without the sync option, but the sync option seems to exacerbate the problem. We do not think the problem is related to Flash or YouTube, we get this crash on other websites as well (google.com, yahoo.com).
We have observed other applications crashing as well, such as the terminal and the X server itself. As with the firefox crash, removing Xpsb.so seems to fix the problem.
Updating to xserver- xorg-video- psb_0.15. 0-0ubuntu1~ 804um4 doesn't fix the problem.
