Thanks! I downloaded and compiled xorg and mesa from cvs today. Now if I try to start X with dri active the computer locks up, and it's a hard lock-up -- I can't ssh into the machine. Nothing special appears in the syslog, and the xorg log does still say that dri is disabled for some reason (no, not a pebkac, I rebooted into recovery mode and copied the log to my home dir; I didn't reboot into X). Other than that, I can't see anything wrong in the log. I've uploaded it to http://eulex.0nyx.com/Xorg.0.log.x300.2 . Are there any other way of debugging it?
