Does that work even after logging out? Does setting up the display manager to always restart the X server work around the problem in that situation?

In the worst case, you could always run your normal X session with DRI disabled and start another X server with DRI enabled when necessary. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
