I reported a problem to the gatos list a long while back that I think may be related. (I thought it was strictly a gatos thing, but have no idea, so I'll share it now). I'm running X from cvs (old, but post 4.2.0) on my radeon 64mb. Once I've run _any_ gl app, if I attempt to run xawtv, or use mtv, it hangs the entire system. I just recently noticed that the same thing occurs after switching to a vt and back--attempts to watch video cause a system hang. Exiting X entirely and restarting it at least makes it possible to watch video after having used a gl app. So now I wonder if it's just X related and not gatos or dri specific. My system is SMP 2x P3 933, asus cuv4-xd (via chipset).
