FYI: crash happens with open driver as well.
Could we get a log of the reproduction of the problem with "nv" driver? Sorry, we don't support nvidia drivers and without reproduction in "nv" (with log) I would have to close the bug.
I understand you don't support binary blobs, that's why I tried to reproduce the crash with nv driver.

I upgraded to Fedora 7 and both drivers work. I guess the problem must have been lying elsewhere.
Thanks a lot, but that means, that the bug is probably still present in FC6.
Fedora Core 6 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora 7, 8, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know in this bug report. If after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX. Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter. [This is mass-filed message to all open Fedora Core 6 bugs related to Xorg or Gecko. If you see any other reason, why this bug shouldn't be closed, please, comment on it here.]
