** Description changed: - Binary package hint: xorg + [Problem] + The -nvidia video driver does not support the XRANDR protocol version 1.2+ that most other video drivers support. This can lead to crashes when applications assume the support is there and make XRANDR calls to do things like change or restore the resolution, screen layout, rotation, etc. + [Workaround] + Applications which trigger this bug should be modified to check for XRANDR driver support before making these calls. + + [Original Report] I downloaded the free version of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (2.03) + Firestorm. Both Firestorm and the Tiberian Sun exhibit this behaviour. After getting to the game main menu, I click Skirmish and start a Skirmish game. If I then abort the game and exit from the main menu, my X crashes and I am forced to re-login to my system. This is on Ubuntu x86_64.
