Hi List,
I can verify the exact same problem Cyrille describes (server crash when creating a new object inputting more than three letters after opening a big patch) on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit and the new Intel drivers. A friend who took a closer look into the problem told me it is happening on the draw routine of the dashed line when the new object box has to get resized after the 3rd letter.
Going back to the default Ubuntu drivers resolved this for me, too.

But with (to use NVidia): $ optirun skype Skype crash. But with Pd, it is different : Pd crash X server even with or without optirun as describe Cyrille in his previous message (when you open a big (?) patch and start to add object that contains more than 3 letters). If you start a patch from scratch, you can create several objects without problem...

I am still using ubuntu 12.04, but I installed newer intel drivers from a ppa some time ago and suddenly got the same problem as users updating to 13.04.
for me the reason was this package (has newer driver sources than 12.04): https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/intel-driver/+sourcepub/3088701/ +listing-archive-extra
I downgraded to the regular 12.04 package for the intel driver and the x crashes were gone. maybe it's possible to install the package from 12.04 on a 13.04 installation?
got mine from here... http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/ xserver-xorg-video-intel
