XWindows crashing / system freezing possible solution

[Reza Roboubi]

I thought others may find this useful:

X once froze the system(mouse still moving), then it once
crashed(X itself, not the system), and then this time it
failed to restart with "cannot run in framebuffer mode" or
something like that.  The system was intel motherboard with
integrated graphics card.

I disabled framebuffer with boot parameters
vga=normal splash=0
and it's working now.

But the previous issue I mentioned persists:  without
startx -- :1 (i.e. if using display 0 instead), Firefox
toolbar fonts look oversized!  I still don't know exactly
why.
