I also saw X unaligned accesses when using xv. But what's worrying
me is the inability to run the gimp on my Millenium II (it fails in
libgtk with something about "cannot access private resource", at the
point where it was going to display the logo). It's definitely the X
server, as displaying over the network on my i386 works just fine.
Anyone any ideas? Is it Millenium-specific?
