There surely is a small difference in the way the image is shown. By the way, opening other images, even bigger than yours, on gthumb worked without a glitch. It seems that there is something related specifically to that image involved in the freezing. As I wrote in my first post: it's the width of 2047px. You could take every picture with that width.

Re: [arch-general] Anybody else have problems with the new Nvidia drivers (275.09.07-1)
The new driver really seems to have a major problem. I figured out that you just need an image with 2047px width to screw up the driver. ATTENTION: This can crash your X server and corrupt memory! Example: [1], an otherwise harmless picture. Every picture with the same width will work, too. I could trigger the bug at least with Firefox, Midori, Epiphany and EOG.

I figured out that you just need an image with 2047px width to screw up the driver. ATTENTION: This can crash your X server and corrupt memory! Example: [1], an otherwise harmless picture. Every picture with the same width will work, too. I could trigger the bug at least with Firefox, Midori, Epiphany and EOG. It looks like some applications like Chromium alter the size, so they don't trigger it. [1] http://www.abload.de/img/nvbugy7cd.jpg Are we sure ths is a bug with the nVidia driver? Can someone load that image who isn't using it?

On my desktop with GeForce 7500 GT, the screen flickers and then X crashes. Window manager, firefox version, etc. are the same on the two machines. Cheers, Norbert

Unfortunately I can confirm, though X didn't crash or flicker. What I saw was visual data from everything else *but* the image. I hope that might help with a bug report to nVidia besides flicker and crash. Using latest nVidia driver with a GeForec GT 240.
