[Bug 222277] Re: Firefox 3 beta 5 crashes gdm when loading a specific web page in ubuntu 8.04 with compiz enabled

[tam]

I have solved the problem from Nick B.'s suggesting to a related problem
in Firefox 3 in this thread.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-
modules-2.6.24/+bug/212648

It also references this thread which provides an updated libwfb from
nvidia which resolves this issue.

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=112098

To temporily fix the problem download the updated libwfb and then copy
it over to your /usr/lib/xorg/modules directory, and then create a new
symbolic link to libwfb.

$ wget http://people.freedesktop.org/~aplattner/wfb/Linux-x86_64/libnvidia-wfb.so.173.08
$ mv libnvidia-wfb.so.173.08 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/
$ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libnvidia-wfb.so.173.08 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so

Restart xorg and everything should function normally. Enjoy!
