And I just want to add here (we also talked on irc yesterday) that another radeon user also saw a panic and he said his was somewhere within the linuxolator code, so it looks like nvidia is actually innocent. :) (Or at least if that panic was due to the same issue...) And as not everyone gets it, and those that do also only `sometimes' I think we really can only wait until someone affected manages to get a crashdump and backtrace, or at the very least a screenshot of the simpleminded KDB_TRACE-type backtrace that's now enabled in GENERIC on 8.2 and which should show up with the console panic message if one manages to get to a console before the panic happens. (Maybe if running X by trying something like sleep 10; firefox <flashvideo link> and hitting ctrl-alt-f1 before firefox starts?) Good luck! Juergen
