Anyway, here are the relevent logs. I will also > submit a report to the XFree people. I have a couple of questions: 1) Why do you suppose this is not a bug in the Linux kernel's i830 DRM driver? 2) Does this problem go away if you remove the xlibmesa-dri package? It sounds like you'll have to reboot the machine and cope with the lockup one more time after removing it to truly diagnose this workaround. -- G.
