<br>Essentially, if you're on ubuntu 10.10, have an intel graphics card, turn off text antialiasing, and attempt to draw large text - your x server dies. Which is fun. You browse the internet, hit a webpage with large text (in firefox, doesn't seem to affect chrome) then X gets killed and you're back at the gdm login screen.<br>
<br>Any idea who I should poke to fix the issue? I've even attached a patch which fixes the bug. All that needs doing is a code review.<br><br>Liam<br></td></tr></tbody></table><br><br></blockquote></div></div><div>Is this a specific Ubuntu problem or is it a general xorg bug?
