6 After sleeping on the problem & reading Forum discussion re 'x11-drm',
7 I've tried a few more things, none of which makes any difference:
8 permutating some options under 'Device' in xorg.conf ,
9 checking all relevant items are enabled in the kernel
10 & finally unmerging 'x11-drm', which seems rather flakey
11 & whose removal had not the slightest effect (wry smile).
12
13 However, I did notice 2 lines on the screen after the crashes:
14
15 Unrecognised deviceID 29c2
16 backtrace ...
17 ... /usr/lib64/dri/i915_dri.so ... (provided by pkg 'mesa')
18
19 This suggests there is some very basic problem re recognising acceleration
20 on the G33 , caused by a defect in the driver(s) being used.
21
22 Can anyone confirm that this is the correct diagnosis ?
23 It looks like material for a bug report, but Gentoo or LKML ?
24
25 A lot of people have been reporting difficulties getting DRI to work here,
26 tho' only a few seem to have encountered my problem of a crash out of X.
