The command buffer is always sent to the kernel now (and clipping is used to prevent any real rendering from happening), so this particular bug should be gone. There's still at least one hardware lockup bug that can be triggered with glxgears; unfortunately, this one doesn't seem to be so easily reproducible. cu, Nicolai > Keith
