BadImplementation crash in firefox

[rohit]

I installed www/linuxpluginwrapper and removed it after firefox started crashing with the hope that uninstalling might help. This seems to be a known problem. How can I fix it?

The program 'gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadImplementation (server does not implement operation)'.
(Details: serial 34 error_code 17 request_code 148 minor_code 5)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

And who told you to use www/linuxpluginwrapper?
The last trend is to use www/nspluginwrapper :)
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-browsers.html#MOZ-FLASH-PLUGIN

[rohit]

You are right, I did look at this doc and followed the same instructions, so the typo was www/nspluginwrapper, instead of www/linuxpluginwrapper

Ok.
Do you have the correct linux_base installed and the correct compat.linux.osrelease sysctl? Is linux module loaded?
Can you try moving ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla.old and run nspluginwrapper -a -v -i again?
As it seems like an xorg error more than a linux emulation or firefox, how did you setup xorg and what is your gpu?
Xorg version?

[rohit]

I'm running:
1. freebsd-current
2. xorg+all ports from 7.1-release
3. GPU is nvidia 570M
4. Linux base used both 4 and 8

While both firefox2 for freebsd and linux kept crashing, I installed firefox3 and could watch flash movies on it. The problem with 3 is that once I try navigating away from a page, it freezes up and suddenly crashes.

After I wrote my first reply, I went back and uninstalled firefox & installed opera, which is much stable.

amd64?

[rohit]

No, its all i386. BTW, opera crashed a few times too with npviewer.core (sp?) and so did perl...i see a few core dumps from these apps in my home dir.

I'm running:
1. freebsd-current
Do you really need to run current?
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html#AEN30025


2. xorg+all ports from 7.1-release
3. GPU is nvidia 570MWhat driver are you using?

4. Linux base used both 4 and 8Are you telling you have both?
You should use linux_base-f8.
And again, did you set the compat.linux.osrelease sysctl to 2.6.16?

1. Yes I need to run current because my laptop has iwn card + I'm using a ppp wan wireless modem
2. I first used the latest (at the time) nvidia-180.29 driver from http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=127292 and now built one from ports...which is giving a totally new problem with /dev/nviddiactl not being created
3. I meant that I used both linux_base and f8 at different times to try resolving the issue. I don't think you can install them together once.
4. Yes the sysctl is set to 2.6.16

I can't see nvidia.ko here.
What after kldloading the nvidia kernel module?
Try kldload nvidia before starting X.
If it works, echo 'nvidia_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf and you will be ready on next reboots.
Pay attention at the double ">".
