Hi, My firefox (3.0.4, out of the official repos) on intrepid (fresh install, not upgrade) crashes occasionally, and completely silently. it just /disappears/, without any messages. I do not use samba, i have no "wins" anywhere in my /etc/nsswitch.conf maybe that means this is a different bug..

Sounds good. By the way, I will note that the hardware specs actually specify that the system should be capable of running on agp4x (both the motherboard and the video card support 4x), so i'm not really sure why it only works on 1x. -- [Needs AGPMode quirk] Freeze with ati driver during boot on
