Public bug reported: Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Ubuntu 10.04 on a machine with an Intel X4500 (non-"HD" variant) display adapter. 2. Launch Firefox (I tested 13.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 and latest nightly build as of 2012-06-28) 3. Open URL <http://www.amd.com/us/press-releases/Pages/amd-launches-worlds-fastest-2011dec22.aspx> (WARNING: this will crash your gnome session if you're running on Intel X4500). Expected result: The web page at the URL should be displayed. Actual result: X crashes and gdm relaunches the greeting screen. As far as I can see, the crash happens even if Firefox does not run any JavaScript or Plugins so I guess it's related to some font or background image on the page. Additional information: The issue cannot be reproduced with unstable Google Chrome so I guess this is triggered by Firefox and X.org combination. The fact that this is reproducible with the latest nightly build of Firefox (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest- trunk/firefox-16.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2) suggests that this is not related just single version of Firefox. I haven't been able to create minimal test case and I don't know how long amd.com will continue to serve the exact same web page that triggers the issue. I haven't tested with a machine running Intel X4500HD but I've tested with a machine running on Q35 chipset (which I believe has Intel X3000 display adapter) and it does not crash. From previous experiences between Intel X4500 and Intel X4500HD, I'd guess that this does not crash X4500HD either. dmesg shows a hint: [233451.981521] [drm:i915_gem_do_execbuffer] *ERROR* Failed to pin buffer 1 of 2, total 60497920 bytes: -28 [233451.981525] [drm:i915_gem_do_execbuffer] *ERROR* 1230 objects [5 pinned], 245559296 object bytes [24608768 pinned], 24608768/134217728 gtt bytes [233455.440193] 2:3:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x82 /var/log/gdm/:0.log.* contains following hint: Execbuffer fails to pin.
