I've been running current Xorg, and it started getting crashy some time in December or early January. This was on an Intel i945G, and may have involved some interaction with Firefox and animated gifs. I finally switched to a PCIX card and the nv driver. However, occasionally it still stops processing any input from /dev/input/event2 (the mouse), even though separate programs are able to read events from there. Nv is also prone to 100% cpu usage for long periods, something I have not seen in the 2007-09-22 version on my laptop. Anyway, it's good to see a renewed emphasis on quality.

Bugginess Posted Feb 28, 2008 7:11 UTC (Thu) by ncm (subscriber, #165) [Link] To be more precise, it's an NV44 (6200 rev a1) ASUSTek Unknown device 81d5 w/ 288M RAM, 2.6GT/s, Width x16. But the X server does its 100% cpu usage even when nothing is rendering; firefox is just doing its page layout, so I don't know how or why X is involved at all.
