Alan Hourihane has synced the XFree86 SiS driver with DRI CVS recently, but the differences between the two now shouldn't have caused that crash (the worst I could imagine would have been failure in some corner case with multitexturing). The DRM used shouldn't matter, and I think I've tested all the options (PCI, AGP, with/without sisfb) since the last time I touched the DRM. You might try running without agpgart enabled to see if that changes anything. -- Eric Anholt eta@xxxxxxxxxx http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@xxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
