Unless I'm not understanding > you, the problem is with two 2D drivers without dri enabled on either. What I mean is that the problem does not occur when I start the new Xserver with DRI. So I concluded that the 3D driver does something that prevents the problem from happening that the 2D driver should better do himself. But when I think about it again it could also be the 2D acceleration which is disabled when DRI is loaded. So 4.2 2D accel locks up when 4.1 2D accel has been running just before. > Maybe it's a bad interaction between xfree 4.1 and 4.2?

Is the 4.1 server a vanilla xfree > release or a gatos driver? This is the start of the server output: This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any way. Bugs may be reported to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and patches submitted to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions, please check the latest version in the XFree86 CVS repository (http://www.XFree86.Org/cvs) XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510) Release Date: 21 December 2001 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ) Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.17 i686 [ELF] It's the one that comes with Debian Woody. I wouldn't take any bets on how vanilla that is. Unfortunately there is no XFree86 4.2 in Debian, not even in unstable.
