Nobody believes the bug is really fixed - but it is quite effectively hidden by some other improvements at different places (probably speedups in the AGP code, reduced buffer sizes and so on). I assume it will show up again some time .... > I've looked on the DRI site -- where is this problem documented? I'd > really like more information. As far as I know it is not documented anywhere. But if you read through the mailing list archive of 'dri-devel' from autumn 2002 to spring 2003 (lots of SPAM in between) then you'll find quite a few postings from me documenting the lockup with FlightGear (that cost me quite a few hours to figure out!!). >> If this is the case, you could try to build the DRI from current CVS. > Okay. I can do that without having to rebuild XFree86, correct? Yes. I usually make a backup copy of /usr/X11R6/ (to /usr/.X11R6/ ;-) Afterwards I do a 'make world' in a copy of the DRI CVS tree and simply install the result _over_ my current X11R6 setup. I also do create current kernel modules from the DRI CVS by creating an appropriate kernel patch. This way I can avoid much of the trouble you encounter after rebuilding the kernel - this depends on where you get your kernel from, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
