Running apt-cache policy on 'xlibmesa-dri' suggests there is a nwe version of that available. I'm currently running etch, and the system as a whole is up to date (may be a week out of date only) and I regularly aptitude update && aptitude upgrade, but my current xlibmesa-dri is 6.9.dfsg.1 and Xorg is at 6.9 - not yet up to date. I wonder if upgrading to the latest Xorg will help - apparently the driver (matrox g450) is unable to run at 32 bit depth currently. But 16 is doable (w/google earth) and DRI works well enough at 24 bit depth, with the exception of google earth, which seems to want 16 or 32, but not 24. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
