Thanks for the response. To be honest, I'd forgotten about this bug. It was so weird/specific to begin with (only one website ever caused problems). The issue also seems to have disappeared on upgrading to 14.10. It never occurred to me to upgrade the BIOS - the utilities are always

Seems to be a font issue: the crash always happens as the page tries to load objects from fonts.smdg.ca. I considered blocking smdg.ca with NoScript but the site becomes unusable. Could this be a duplicate of Bug #738526? I always get an X crash the first time I load the page after reboot. If it

Christopher, is there anything further you might need me to check? I am planning to apply a workaround this week of a GeForce 650 I got a good deal on :-) I'll hold off on swapping the cards in case you need me to follow up on anything. I'm not using the Firestream for any GP-GPU computing or

I have failure with both fglrx and fglrx-updates in 12.10, and the 12.11 beta driver fails to install in 12.04. (Although the latter may be because I'm doing something wrong, as I noted in bug 1075035.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is

I could, but probably not until the weekend - I'll need time to do a 12.04 install on this machine (my home computer) and I've got a really busy week at work. (My work computer still has 12.04 - I need a graphics program that depends on qt3 - but no AMD graphics.) -- You received this bug

I can add the AMD Firestream 9250 to the list of affected video cards - just upgraded and I've got the same problems as everyone else in this report. I'll try the open source drivers until I can get enough of a working desktop to investigate further. (I'm having trouble even viewing a website on

I tried the workaround, but ran into some problems: - in step 5, the command apt-get -y reinstall was not recognised. The reinstall seems to be the wrong code. I couldn't recall what the correct command was, so I did this step via synaptic. - step 6 failed because there was no package

But with the Fedora 15 Live CD you'd be using the open source drivers - GNOME shell works fine with those, last time I tried. (I had Fedora 15 installed for awhile but had all kinds of pain with broken packages, system settings, etc.) It's a bit of a hassle to get fglrx drivers installed on

OK, although it's been my experience with Ubuntu up to and including 11.04 that with the open source driver most games with 3D graphics are unplayable - even something like SuperTuxKart. So I'd rather have Unity+Games than GNOME Shell with no games, especially since my preferences lean towards
