I'm *not* saying DRI isn't good, it used to work perfectly on my 7500. But the R200 was never stable here (I've had it for ~6 months now). I'm using ATI-drivers atm and I've not seen a single crash with those. If debug logs are interesting to you, or to any X/DRI developpers, I'll go back to DRI and try to generate them if you tell me how. I'm happy to say my PC doesn't seem to have any hardware problem (as it was suggested on dri-devel) since going to ati-drivers solved *all* the stability issues I had with X+DRI (and before switching from the 7500 to the 8800, it was stable ; and it was still stable in 3D apps in windows (yuck) after the switch). Maybe if all users seeing crashes generated a debug log and put it online for all DRI developpers to see, finding a common denominator would be easier... ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
