Description James Hubbard 2009-11-10 18:04:28 UTC 
Description of problem:
X crashes when using nomodeset.  Originally, I had only seen this on websites.  However, I started getting this behavior when editing images with gthumb.  I was able to edit one image by using the resize option.  When I try to edit another image, I get get the crash. It doesn't matter what image now.  Any time I right click an imagne and choose open with gthumb a crash occurs.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel 2.6.31.5-122.fc12.i686
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.0-0.10.20091006git457646d73.fc12.i686
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.1-7.fc12.i686

How reproducible:
Once the crash happens, it happens everytime the same way.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Going to http://www.newegg. will do this everytime.
2.

Comment 3 Jérôme Glisse 2009-11-10 21:28:56 UTC 
Do you have any issue with KMS enabled ? Just so you know UMS is not a priority for us.
Comment 4 James Hubbard 2009-11-10 21:45:11 UTC
