Yeah, you've basically disabled 2D acceleration. :) Sounds like a general instability with DRI enabled. I don't know why that would be, the only suggestion I can make is to try the DRM from drm-trunk-module-src (and possibly the rest of the dri-trunk-sid packages as well) and see if it works any better. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer \ Debian (powerpc), XFree86 and DRI developer Software libre enthusiast \ http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
