Interesting.

"firefox-bin" does *not* use the Xorg libraries. It uses the X11 libraries
from the "suse91_x11" package which are XFree86 4.3.99 based. If a setup
with a XFree86 4.5.0 server doesn not work the problem is not caused by
an XFree86 vs. Xorg compatibility problem.

What kind of machine is your HP Laptop? Both of my NetBSD-i386 systems
are Pentium IV with lots of memory.

What kernel configuration do you use on that notebook?

	Kind regards
