X keeps crashing

Hi,

I've been using Arch for more than 8 months and I love it a lot. I've never had any major problem with it, until I performed a system upgrade, where my Amarok stopped playing songs. After googling I realized that I had to install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg to get everything working.

However, my main problem is with X. For some reason when I'm surfing the web using Shretoko, all of a sudden X crashes and it shows me the GDM login manager. When I login for the second time the problem never happens again. Initially, I thought the problem was with my 64-bit Alpha flash, that's why I installed flashblock but noticed the problem still existed.

Recently, I noticed that whenever I go to the following page, while typing my password X crashes. https://www.baisidirect.com/live/login.jspv

Also, Here is the information about my graphic card:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

Thank you very much. My problem seems to be solved. I was able to go to that link and sign in, without X crashing.

I never noticed that my default tty wasn't tty7.

Re: X keeps crashing

Most people don't.

So have any of the dev's found what needs to be changed somewhere deep in the background of arch to sort this timing issue out?

I have no idea. I'm not a dev.
