Well, as the XFree86 shipped with Red Hat 8 is probably built with gcc 3.2, glibc 2.3 and whatnot, it's possible that it's not binary compatible with the snapshots... > >thought it would not be a problem!

We don't have a way to find out the version of an XFree86 module directly yet (I understand the XFree86 CVS trunk has that now). So the radeon driver tries to load version 1.1 of libxaa. If that succeeds, it knows it can use the new facilities for line acceleration. If it fails, the driver knows it's version 1.0.0 and switches to backwards compatibility mode. > Would this problem (the signal 11) go away if libxaa.a was included in > the binary snapshots?
