What suggests that? They use the current code from the 4.3 CVS branch
plus some backports from the CVS trunk plus some other patches.
That being said, the 4.3 code is basically rather old; if the problem
only occurs with DRI enabled, you may want to try a snapshot from DRI
CVS, see http://dri.sourceforge.net/snapshots/README.Debian .
If it also happens with DRI disabled though, it's probably an agpgart
problem.
