If I understand correctly, the crash comes from a video card that is missing features/not supported. So those users (like me) could simply be staying away. I will come back if I can deliver some real test results.

Ulrik, segfault is not proper error handling anyway.
I think I didn't get this crash last time I booted the machine that got it all the time, so it must be fixed indeed.
