I did, I took it out (prior to posting), and it solved the random hard
lockups, I'm guessing it's an SMP issue.

I've set this up on many newer machines for people who realy use the
GL stuff (their medical imaging -vs- my screensavers), but I don't
think any were SMP machines.

I reinstalled xserver-xfree86 and the mesa libs (don't know if I
needed to) so now I'm working and mourning the loss of 28fps
screensavers but not all that much...
