Thanks for the tip. I do not use framebuffers at all, though. > > And, by the way, there are not yet drivers supporting it. So it's somewhat useless - I see :-/ Some further experiences with other kernels: - I've upgraded to the latest & greatest xorg-x11; this move DID solve the "instant crash on openGL usage" bug, BUT it introduced some new problems: -- some calls to mplayer also instantly crash the X server. I did not yet get around to pinning this problem down exactly. -- Tests with glxgears show that as soon as I enable DRI, the framerate DROPS from about 500 to 50. HUH??? -- Sometimes when shutting down, the shutdown of the X server does not correctly reset the console - as soon as X-Server dies, some strange color pattens are all that remain visible. As long as the shutdown works, this is more of an annoyance than a problem, but if I want to drop to console mode, this WOULD be a problem. - Using kernel gentoo-sources-2.6.29-gentoo I get a problem during shutdown: The shutdown of ALSA hangs, and I can only stop the computer with the Alt-SysRq-Trick. The Alt-SysRQ shows that it seems to hang during a rmmod - removing the ALSA modules has problems at this kernel version. I'm using intel on board audio (intel-hda module). Sound works - it's "only" a shutdown problem. Ciao, Wolfgang Liebich
