Thought I'd give this code a whirl on the Albook. (Radeon Mobility M10) After the initial install, I saw exactly the above -- immediate lockup a second or so after starting glxgears. However, after a reboot, it's been perfectly stable ever since, both in windowed and full screen mode, with every 3D app I've been able to try. Which isn't many unfortunately, since the unstable Ubuntu release I've got on there is in the middle of a C++ ABI transition & none of the packages that depend on libglu1 will install at the moment. So far I've only managed to try glxgears, the rss-glx screensavers and neverball, but all seem to be entirely stable. Only slight problem is that the current Xorg CVS seems prone to crashing via double frees on VT switch, but that's unlikely not the dri code's fault I guess.
