perhaps I should have clarified a bit.... I use Debian Squeeze which uses gnome2, and on it I have had no problems for the whole of 2011 (and I run advanced visualization softwares such as VTK on large datasets, still no trouble). Maybe the problem has to do with gnome3? (No problems with chrome/WebGL either.)
It certainly does - but it's also driver specific because on open source drivers it works without the crashing - but then the performance is terrible, even playing YouTube fullscreen lags (!?).
