sarge, kernel 2.4.22 and 2.4.25, X 4.2, DRI: GL screensaver crashes kernel
This is on an IBM thinkpad x22 with ATI Radeon/Mobility. Has anyone else
encountered same?
Diabling DRI stops the problem.
Is the solution to upgrade to X 4.3? The laptop kernel patches that were
required before, are they now in the late 2.4 kernels, such as 2.4.25?
Can one run the unstable X 4.3 in testing? The 2.6 kernel is also
available in testing now, but users seem to be having problems. Also
earlier posts on this indicates problems with running X 4.3 on 2.6
kernels.
I could also give up the GL screensavers ... but I think the general
problem is between DRI and 3D acceleration.
There were earlier (2003) posts relating to this, but I would like to
know the latest state of affairs re: the latest sarge, kernels, X.
