There are currently problems with DRI for the i810 driver: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=359328 You can see if direct rendering is working with glxinfo | grep direct When you have logged into the locked-up computer you can check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for further clues about what goes wrong. As far as restarting gdm goes, try to "pkill -9 X" first, that should at least save you the trouble of rebooting. -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
