OK, I tried XAA and EXA. I see evidence in Xorg.0.log that they are |
| 24 |
each recognized but both ways I'm still crashing X. |

This is very disappointing, but at least I can run mplayer on this |
| 27 |
machine if I remember to set the decoder type. |

Our emails are crossing in the ether. I'm building driconf now and |
| 30 |
will see what I can do with that. I'm not sure what to try. driconf |
| 31 |
doesn't seem very happy. It cannot find glxinfo, and I just found out |
| 32 |
that glxgears is no longer on the system. Did that change with |
| 33 |
xorg-7.4 or do I need to re-emerge something? I cannot remember. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Anyway, I'll keep plugging away at this. Thanks for the idea on driconf. |
