R690 Some Websites causes X to close

F12 Beta fully updated.  Laptop/Netbook has an RS690 video card.  When
I go to some websites, X will crash and will return to a gdmnlogin
screen.   Flash is not installed.  The website that will cause this
consistently is http://www.newegg.com.

Boot options
nomodeset vga=791

Better to look into logs (Xorg.0.log and messages).

Yep. Also, please try without those boot options, neither should be
needed (if you need nomodeset to make things work, you should file a bug
on that if you haven't already). And try with tomorrow's Rawhide, it has
some significant graphics-related fixes.

If you're still having trouble we'll need logs to know more.

I've not tried without nomodeset lately, but I did need it right after
installing F12B due screen corruption.  I've looked in the log
(Xorg.0.log), but didn't see anything that indicated what the problem
was.  I'll try to file a bug report later this afternoon.

After removing nomodeset, NewEgg's website no longer crashed X.
However, I still get corruption problems.  I created a bugreport and
attached an image.
