I even wiped my own machine and did a parallel install with my friend's machine.. mine worked perfect, his failed with X segfaults. It has all the usual bugs we know and love in 12.3... like the initial broken state of the Network Manager... plus this new and exciting segfaulting X. This isn't on a single install either.. we've reinstalled from scratch several times and got the same behaviour.
I'm open to doing odd fixes with this particular case... but I don't yet see why this one machine is behaving so differently than any other 12.3 install I've done. I'll poke the log files when we have a chance again this weekend.. maybe the Xorg log file has a new clue?
I guess that this computer has an onboard video chip as well as the nVidia pciE 670 card and that the onboard video chip has been disabled so that only the pciE card is active?
Interesting... I forwarded this to my friend, and he poked around in MSI's UEFI (I'd swear they put extra effort into over-complicating and obscuring things in there) until he found the spot to switch off integrated graphics. Now, KInfoCenter doesn't segfault X... and so far, there have been no more crashes. More testing needed of course, but this is an improvement. Thanks for that suggestion... :-) It never even crossed my mind to try this.
