Aha: I assumed "crashes Trixie" means the whole OS crashed. If you can still access the machine via SSH, then presumably only the video part is wedged. Still: if the whole user session is made unusable and the graphics stack is sufficiently confused that you can't "log out and log back in" (as seems to be the case based on your description), then the problem is not just in the application but somewhere within the graphics stack. === Stefan
