Not really weird at all; when you made the X r128 driver believe there was more video RAM than there actually is, it thought there was enough to store textures. > Anyway, switching to use the framebuffer device stopped the crashing. > > Is there anything I can do to figure out where the problem is stemming > from? No need, really, this is a well known and understood problem. Does it still happen with current libgl1-mesa-dri in sid? I fixed this upstream a while ago, but maybe it was after the current snapshot. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer
