Re: [expert] Mandrake 8.0 & Voodoo DRI

[Francisco Alcaraz Ariza]

John, I have the same problems in 8.0, nor in 7.2; but in beta 2 and beta 3 I 
had it also; it seems a problem with XFree86 4.0..2 and 4.0.3, because using 
xine and videoland with xvideo activated (a way to use directly the graphic 
hardware without XFree86) I can get full screen.

Ah! is not a problem with DRI, because programs that don't use DRI, like 
clanbomber, heretic II or pingus also crashes X.

Perhaps we should communicate the problem to the XFree team, but we must be 
sure this is the cause of the X crashes!!!!!
