See the rest of my post. The reporter of that bug doesn't even have a card from the range you suggested disabling the DRI for. The symptoms are very generic and can be caused by a wide range of specific problems. You have yet to demonstrate a systematic problem independent of specific system setup. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer
