OK, so that's probably not it. I haven't seen it since I upgraded Mesa and the DRI modules, but I've also been sitting at my desk and not letting that evil screensaver get any cycles, so I'll follow up tomorrow. I'm a little disturbed at the stability of the DRI code if it does turn out to be fixed, since that means any user with access to my display can wedge graphics and physical console until reboot. But I already knew DRI was flaky :) -- Daniel Jacobowitz MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
