After sleeping on the problem & reading Forum discussion re 'x11-drm', I've tried a few more things, none of which makes any difference: permutating some options under 'Device' in xorg.conf , checking all relevant items are enabled in the kernel & finally unmerging 'x11-drm', which seems rather flakey & whose removal had not the slightest effect (wry smile). However, I did notice 2 lines on the screen after the crashes: Unrecognised deviceID 29c2 backtrace ... ... /usr/lib64/dri/i915_dri.so ... (provided by pkg 'mesa') This suggests there is some very basic problem re recognising acceleration on the G33 , caused by a defect in the driver(s) being used. Can anyone confirm that this is the correct diagnosis ? It looks like material for a bug report, but Gentoo or LKML ? A lot of people have been reporting difficulties getting DRI to work here, tho' only a few seem to have encountered my problem of a crash out of X. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
