Thanks for the tip. I do not use framebuffers at all, though. |

So it's somewhat useless - I see :-/ |

Some further experiences with other kernels: |
| 30 |
- I've upgraded to the latest & greatest xorg-x11; this move DID solve |
| 31 |
the "instant crash on openGL usage" bug, BUT it introduced some new |
| 32 |
problems: |
| 33 |
-- some calls to mplayer also instantly crash the X server. I did not |
| 34 |
yet get around to pinning this problem down exactly. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
-- Tests with glxgears show that as soon as I enable DRI, the |
| 37 |
framerate DROPS from about 500 to 50. HUH??? |
| 38 |
-- Sometimes when shutting down, the shutdown of the X server does not |
| 39 |
correctly reset the console - as soon as X-Server dies, some strange |
| 40 |
color pattens are all that remain visible. As long as the shutdown |
| 41 |
works, this is more of an annoyance than a problem, but if I want to |
| 42 |
drop to console mode, this WOULD be a problem. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
- Using kernel gentoo-sources-2.6.29-gentoo I get a problem during |
| 46 |
shutdown: The shutdown of ALSA hangs, and I can only stop the computer |
| 47 |
with the Alt-SysRq-Trick. The Alt-SysRQ shows that it seems to hang |
| 48 |
during a rmmod - removing the ALSA modules has problems at this kernel |
| 49 |
version. I'm using intel on board audio (intel-hda module). Sound |
| 50 |
works - it's "only" a shutdown problem. |
