From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: Whn scrolling large directories, nautilus will simply stop responding and cause the X server to lock up completely. The mouse will still function, but the rest of the server is simply dead. This happens also when dragging another gnome2 application across a nautilus window, especially Pan (sometimes Pan causes this same crash or one similar on it's own) and gEdit. It is bad enough that the Gnome environment is almost unusable on this system. I am new to this bug reporting thing, so please tell me if you need any log files, outputs, etc. I will be happy to help. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Nautilus window, 2. Open /usr/lib/, 3. Scroll through the directory quickly using mousewheel or scroll bar. -or- 1. Open nautilus window to a large dir, 2. Open Pan, 3. Move the Pan window over the top of the nautilus window, 4. Or do the same with a gEdit window Actual Results: Xserver locks, unable to bail out of it or switch to another virtual console. Mouse still moves in Xserver. Expected Results: Nothing. System should function as expected (ie - display files/folders, not lock up in general).

All components have functioned very well on past versions of Redhat Linux, again w/o any problems. It should be noted that this problem was observed in the 9.0rc2 beta of Mandrake Linux (exactly the same when using gnome2 desktop).
If I understand correctly, Nautilus hasn't crashed, X has locked up. X server lockups are X server bugs, applications should not be able to lock the server.
I am not sure if Nautilus crashed or not, honestly. I know that the problem seems to reproduce every time if Nautilus is open/being used. This led me to believe that Nautilus/gtk2/gnome2 were the culprits. Is there a log file or anything I can send that will help?
I have run xf86config and hand edited XF86Config afterwards. Crashes still happen. Also, the crashes are reproducable with gnome2/gtk2 apps while running under KDE. Specifically, gedit and Pan.
Red Hat does not support Nvidia binary only drivers. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 73 ***

If you have any lockups or problems while using Nvidia's drivers, contact Nvidia and provide them with a bug report so they can fix their drivers. Thanks.
