At first, only dri was causing lockups, but now xorg 7 locks up with or without dri. My troubles with x started when I added a dac1164 raid controller to my dp264, but I'm pretty sure now that it was just coincidence - I vaguly remember doing an upgrade before putting the controller in... I can't think of a reason why adding the raid controller would affect x. Hopefully this will be resolved soon; i'm starting to get worried about the state of Alpha ports: how long will we have a broken libc?, freebsd dropping alpha in 7.x, a lot less traffic on this list than there used to be... among other issues.
