The new driver really seems to have a major problem. I figured out that
you just need an image with 2047px width to screw up the driver.


ATTENTION: This can crash your X server and corrupt memory!

Example: [1], an otherwise harmless picture. Every picture with the same
width will work, too. I could trigger the bug at least with Firefox,
Midori, Epiphany and EOG. It looks like some applications like Chromium
alter the size, so they don't trigger it.

Are we sure ths is a bug with the nVidia driver? Can someone load that image
who isn't using it?


Loads fine for me in firefox and midori, using intel driver.

I can confirm that i915 works fine in that case.
