"UP systems"? I can't make that one out.
DRI + G400 works for me on an Athlon system (Irongate north bridge). I
do have multiple contexts at the same time and I have never had any
lock up that seems directly related to that (and I do hammer the
pipeline). In fact, I haven't had a lock for for the last three or
four months, I think. ATM I'm running off DRI CVS code (X server
extensions, DRI drivers and GL libraries, everything else here is what
the xfree86-sever package ships with, including the server itself)
Most of the lock ups I've seen, seem to be related to the chipset on
the box, VIA KT133 chipsets being perhaps the most sensitive of them.
Intel BX chipsets seem to work fine (albeit being slower than the VIA
ones for some kinds of operations)
