I was using 'mesa' + 'mesa-progs' (read/write error by me). I updated to the latest versions 7.0.1 7.0.1 2.1.1 & rebooted & there is no change: X crashes as soon as 'glxinfo' starts with the same error message "unrecognised deviceID 29c2" while using /usr/lib64/dri/i915_dri.so . I note your comment re continuing development & suspect it hasn't caught up with the hardware yet (smile). Is there any way of testing the other 3 versions in the dir, which I listed in the previous msg (one is 'i915tex') ? I'ld like to get it working, if possible, but software acceleration with Core 2 Duo & Intel G33 is faster than hardware acceleration with Athlon 2500+ & Nvidia MX400 (current box): former 1491 - 1530 vs latter 1212 fps . An upto-date Nvidia EN8500GT card costs CAD 104 + tax , too much merely for Xscreensavers, but affordable if needed otherwise. Your & others' further comments & suggestions are very welcome. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
