I tried this on the live CD last night, and it made a big difference! First I tried the live CD without making any modifications, and I suffered from an immediate crash when I tried selecting the AntInspect screen saver.
Then I tried the live CD again, but immediately adding Option "BusType" "PCI" to the devices section of xorg.conf and restarting X. Not only did I have no problems running the AntInspect screen saver (and the couple of other GL screen savers that I tried), but it cleared up at least one other problem I had when using Gutsy previously: green "snow" during video playback. Hopefully, this is the solution I need to get a stable Gutsy installation (I had some crashes before, especially when opening up a dialogue or prompt in Mozilla, but other times it seemed spontaneous) -- I wish I'd known about it before reverting to Feisty. I plan to return to a full Gutsy installation, now, when I have some time. Now, although it's been a very long time since I looked, I'm pretty sure the card is an AGP card. I'll take the stability, for sure, but what am I losing out on by not being able to run it in AGP mode? Speed, I presume (which I could really use). Are there any plans to address this (or at least add the BusType option by default for cards such as mine that exhibit this problem)?
