Comment 31 for bug 433541

I have been using the system for 5 hours now with no crash. The only difference between the crashing configuration and the not crashing configuration is using the vesa video driver vs the intel video driver, which is evidence that the problem is related to the video driver.

My home computer is also running gentoo with the following versions:

* Searching for xf86-video-radeonhd ...
IP-] [ ~] x11-drivers/xf86-video-radeonhd-1.2.5 (0)

This system is running stable for a long time. The only difference between my home system and the work system is the xorg-server version (1.6.3 vs 1.6.2), the mesa version (7.5 ve 7.4.4) and the video driver (radeonhd vs intel). I haven't tried xorg-server 1.6.2 and mesa 7.4.4 at work, but my gut feeling is that it won't make a difference and that the significant change here is the video driver.

But if anybody thinks the changes between the mesa and xorg-server versions are significant, I can try that, too.
