I don't know if we can help you. As a starter, which video driver do you
use? Does it also crash if you use the keyboard (arrow keys) to scroll? Or
the scrollbar. The cursor works at a different level and is mainly implemented
by your graphics board, that's why it still works.

Further I see that you use the "-ffast-math" compilation flag. Please be
advised that compiling with this flag will result in incorrect calculations
and can cause programs to break. It is not advisable to use this flag as
default flag ever. It should only be used on a program by program basis.

If you are using Nvidia drivers, please update the driver to 1.0-4496.

You can use nvidia-installer --update to automatically install the new nvidia
driver.

Once the new driver is in place, it resolves the problem.

But this applies only to nVidia graphic cards.

[Comment 3 Paul de Vrieze (RETIRED) 2003-11-02 03:59:27 UTC]

You should use emerge and not the nvidia-installer (to keep things in portage),
but indeed update if you use nvidia drivers.

[Comment 4 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2003-11-02 07:36:17 UTC]

You may try the new unstable nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx, as I updated the
tarballs being used (or .pkg then).

Is this bug still valid? If no further feedback is provide I think we should close it.

[Comment 6 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2004-01-18 09:49:39 UTC]

Maciej mailed me, that he can't reproduce it anymore, so closing this bug
