Title:
  starting mathematica 9 crashes xserver

Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “xorg” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  upon starting mathematica 9.0.1 the x server crashes and a login
  appears. with ubuntu 13.10 this happens on almost all computers to my
  disposal, with various video cards/drivers (exception being only one
  netbook with intel graphics). while on other systems the crash does
  not leave any trail and the log file does not seem to be closed, on
  this particular system the Xorg.0.log.old contains the following
  relevant lines:

  the crash most probably occurs when mathematica initializes the gl
