That's interesting; glad we narrowed down the problem. I don't have any ATI hardware, so can't reproduce this. I'm assuming no other applications crash like this? I'm wondering if pcb is doing something different from other programs. Can I please get the versions of your graphics driver packages (ones you mentioned above), and the hardware IDs: lspci -nn | grep VGA Not entirely sure what I can do with that, but it'd be good to have. I'll try to chase down some ATI hardware. Otherwise you'll be running experiments for me for a long time.
