If you have non working 3D accelerated OpenGL and start a screensaver |
| 2 |
that uses OpenGL to do it's graphics, like Atlantis does, then you will |
| 3 |
experience exactly this problem. X will crash when the OpenGL |
| 4 |
accelerated screensaver module starts. Make sure that OpenGL works and |
| 5 |
your problem will be gone. |
