Hi!
  Bingo! It's there! I'm really stupid that I forgot to look there.
  It's a single line but I think it's this:
  
X: main/framebuffer.c:219: _mesa_free_framebuffer_data: Assertion `fb->RefCount == 0' failed.
This is the case when it crashed after closing the window.

  It also shows that I forgot that I recompiled also the server to 1.9.99.902. (1.3 RC2). So
this bug is probably not driver related, but it's the server problem. I just tried the old
driver and it crashed as well.

                    With regards, Pavel Troller
