Hi Yann, I don't think this is going to help you much but anyhow, I have an AGP Powercolor 32MB DDR Dark Wizard (ATI Radeon 7000) with Suse 7.3 using Xfree86 4.2. When I enable DRI and try glxgears it would always crash my system. X works fine. In my case, I seemed to have a problem with my motherboard (some DMA issue with my Harddrive I think). What I did to fix it (extreme I know...) was to switch motherboards with my other machine (from a SOYO to an Asus P5A-B). I wouldn't expect yours to be the same problem. Your config file looks fine (assuming you do have a Vision Master 400 (Iiyama), and that your mode lines are correct. Does X crash or does it crash only when you run something that is 3D accelerated? (e.g. glxgears, tuxracer etc.) You might want to try getting the newest DRI driver (http://dri.sourceforge.net/). Does X crash if you have dri and glx disabled? If it does then probably something to do with your general X config. I hope find a solution that is less drastic as mine (I had a feeling something was wrong with my motherboard for a while since it gave me alot of headache with other stuff).
