Hello,

I've finally got my Radeon card to work with DRI under Linux, so I could try out 
FlighGear. I compiled version 0.9.1 with no problems and it works fairly well, except 
for one thing: I occasionally get an Xserver freeze when I exit FG or when I try to 
change the window size. It sometimes happens on exiting from fullscreen mode as well.
The only way out of the freeze is to hit the reset button (maybe logging in from 
another machine would work, but I don't have any at hand to try out).

The freeze does not occurs while flying, and the textures, panels etc. appear correct. 
I didn't experience this freeze on other GL applications (Chromium, Armagetron, 
Tuxracer, Celestia).

If any FG user a solution for this problem, please let me know...
As it is, it limits my use of the flightsim because I have to keep rebooting the 
machine after using it. 
This way it is worse than M$ Windows :-(

Thanks,

Pedro.

My system details:

Graph card: Radeon VE AGP 64MB
Motherboard: intel 845G
CPU: P4 2Ghz
OS: Linux Mandrake 9.0
Kernel: 2.4.19-ac4

DRM: binary snapshot from cpbotha.net (2002/10/12)
