I'm stuck trying to figure out what's causing either Gnome or the xserver (Xorg) to crash.
I've just switched to Xorg (using this guide
X.org , in the hope of figuring out if it just were X, that had a problem, but no.
The problem shows its ugly self by making me unable to use the icons on the desktop screen.
Gnome runs sorta fine, except for the icons, so it's not a full crash, but a partiall crash.
Also I can't restart gnome (I can get into gdm though, but nothing more) without having to reboot Sarge.
A friend of mine suggested it might be firefox that is causing the problem, since he's sorta experiencing the same on his stationary computer.
I've also recently removed the fglrx (offical ati drivers) since it was just crap, and made everything crash when I went out of the xserver and into the command window (you know ctrl + f1).
Since then the system has been not quite the same.
Me and my friend removed all files concerning flgrx driver, but might it seem as there's something left, I don't know.
I'm also clueless where to find a driver to my ATI Mobility FireGL T2 card , and I think finding a new driver might solve the problem, but as said before I'm yet to find a driver which I can use.
For now I'm using the vesafb driver (until I find something else), which is crap by the way.
Anyone else experiencing the same thing, or at least got an idea?
