It's not long gone. It's sitting right there in gdb. This exception is NOT what is crashing your app. Do 'c' in gdb to get to the real problem. At the point when this happens no 3D rendering has happened. In fact, the driver hasn't even initialized 3D state in the hardware. -- Smile! http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990315.html _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
