Description of problem: X crashes after login as user. I have this happening on two computers with different graphic cards, both are AMD though. I think it might be related to a transparent gnome-panel. It works when i switch to a text console during login and then switch to x11. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fc5 with updates How reproducible: login on my machine, but it does work sometimes. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Seems to be a common problem being reported. This is the 3rd or 4th bug report I've seen with a backtrace pointing at the fb MMX code causing a SEGV.
I have switched off the transparency of gnome-panel on one machine and the problem went away there.

Please attach your X server log and config file, from a session in which you experience this problem, as that will help diagnosis.
This seems to work now. I can't remember which update fixed it.
