Firefox "freezes" > the system (again, I don't know if it's the right term). The driver > I'm using is radeon. Ok. How about this? Firefox items: 1. What version of Firefox are you using? 2. Are you using any Firefox plugins? 3. When you try to bring up Firefox, does it start to render the GTK window and then freeze, or does it freeze without rendering the GTK window? 4. Are you starting from `scratch' with Firefox, or are you restoring your last session? 5. If you compiled from ports, what do your CPUTYPE/CC/CXX/CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS look like? Radeon items: 1. What Radeon card do you have? 2. Are you using the drm code in the kernel, or not? 3. Have you tried with the vesa driver instead of the radeon driver? I would focus on the Firefox items for now because they're easier to track down, but definitely try one spin with the vesa driver instead of the radeon driver because it's quick and dirty. Thanks! -Garrett
