I have an AMD Phenom II X4 940 with an Radeon 4870 that loves to crash |
30 |
when I turn on compositing. OpenGL works wonderfully until it crashes |

I have an AMD Athlon II X4 635 with an onboard Radeon 4200 that loves to |
34 |
crash when I turn on compositing. |

Both these boxes have SB700/SB800 chipsets. I use xdm on the former and |
37 |
manually run X on the other. Same problem on both. |

I did not have this problem in xorg-server 1.7 series. |
