I first got no dri with xorg-server 1.8, too, and then weird effects |
| 16 |
started happening, like the shift and ctrl keys not working. When tings |
| 17 |
crashed, I got a block screen and still could move the mouse, but that was |
| 18 |
all, even after Alt-SysRQ-R (which usually helps in these cases) I could |
| 19 |
not switch to a text terminal. But after a reboot all seemed perfect, but |
| 20 |
when I was writing a followe-up mail, X crashed. And I got several more |
| 21 |
crashes after working 5 minutes in KDE. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I downgraded back to xorg-server 1.7.7-r1, and now dri is working, too. |
| 24 |
Looking good! KDE is running for over an hour now, I'm not using any swap |
| 25 |
at all, amarok is emerging in the background, and mplayer is playing |
| 26 |
smoothly. |

I experience little rendering problems in chromium (images appear over |
| 29 |
text) and quake3 feels a little sluggish, but I can live with this. |

Thanks for anyone who helped! |
