Hi!
I have now created the xorg.conf with fbdev according to your suggestion, did a
restart and landed in a KDE without compositing. But therefore i was not able
to reproduce the crash!
Also the large images inside the tabs from Iceweasel are getting loaded faster.
Another thing i recognized is, that switching between 2 tabs containing
biggies inside causes much less short time freezes of Iceweasel.
With the radeon driver and deactivated KMS on the other hand switching between
the tabs containing big images led to some serious short time freezes of
Iceweasel and the whole GUI, but they did NOT capture the mouse and did NOT
crash the system.
Only with Radeon driver and activated KMS even the mouse froze (often along
with the complete system).
I hope these infos are useful to your further investigation.
Cheers, buddy!
