But, that didn't do it, either. I installed ALL the 218 or whatever updates, and tried the xaa option. It turns out that XAA is enabled automatically, so that option wasn't accepted. I tried the vesa driver, but it was seriously messed up, with a skewed video display. I finally tried another option recommended in the Google search you recommended, and found that adding : Option "NoAccel" "On" to the Device section of the xorg.conf file, made it work reliably, both for Axis and glxgears. Killing the gears produces an error message, but EMC2/Axis seems to be reliable. > The bug doesn't really look resolved - the submitter got it working I > guess - maybe you could reopen it if the suggested things don't > work. > NoAccel seems to do it, and the performance is not bad enough in any way for EMC2 and general screen work. (It is a 1.7 GHz Pentium, slower CPUs might not be so acceptable.)
