As I recall KDE preloads libGL for some reason. that might have something to do with it.
If you make sure that the old driver.so file is removed, not overwritten, there shouldn't be any problem, as existing open filehandles won't then see any changes.
Yes! That did it. Sure enough, fuser shows a dozen kdeinit (and kalarmd, korgac) using libGL.so.1.2 and r200_dri.so.
Well, I've never tried to install the whole XFree86 when it's running,I'm not sure if the XFree86 install was designed with installation over a *running* system in mind, so I don't know if this is happening already or not.
but I'm often lazy and just compile the mesa/src/drv/r200 if only small
changes happen and copy the r200_dri.so manually. But as you suggested,
if I'll delete the installed r200_dri.so before copying the new one,
then no crashes happen - the running kde happily keeps its references to the old deleted dri driver and new apps will use the new dri driver.
