Description Thomas Kahle (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-06-22 07:26:02 UTC
When using firefox, right after openening a link (new tab, or same tab) in few cases X freezes (frequency: approx once per day). 
-) This is a new behaviour that I am observing since approximately one week ago.
-) Everytime it happened I had opened a link in firefox just before it.
-) The mouse cursor can still be moved around
-) I can log in via ssh and reboot the computer
-) Nothing in /var/log/messages, but in xorg.log

Reproducible: Always

You will need to test with all plugins disabled. If anything this looks more like an X server bug rather that a mozilla bug.
Comment 3 Thomas Kahle (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-06-27 16:46:41 UTC
OK, I just reproduced the issue after disabling all plugins 4 days ago. It is really hard to reproduce. 
I will cc the xorg-team. 
I will try to provide any additional info that might be helpful.
Comment 4 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-06-27 22:15:16 UTC
Could you try xf86-video-intel 2.12.0 (probably along with a newer libdrm)?

Thanks
Comment 5 Thomas Kahle (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-07-05 15:58:47 UTC
Ok, I could not reproduce this since updating libdrm and the intel driver. 
Let's keep it open for one more week. Do you have stable plans for a newer Xorg+friends?
Comment 6 Thomas Kahle (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-07-14 13:28:39 UTC
Not reproducible with newer intel driver and libdrm. Please aim at stabilization.
Another instance of the general observation that the X-Stack down to kernel+friends should stay in sync. 
At this point in x86 we have a much newer kernel stable than e.g. the intel driver.
