My wife's XFree86 was randomly crashing every once in a while. Not a good
thing.
I tracked it down to xscreensaver. I used xscreensaver-control and
manually tried different savers. It crashed on GL-related savers.
Also, X crashes when running glxinfo.
I read several postings about this, but no real answer. I also didn't find
anything the same in bugzilla. (307 seems similar).
When X crashes, it has a Segmentation fault and signal 11.
I received no other usable (as far as I can tell) output related to crash
from xinit nor in the /var/log/XFree86.0.log.
Her system is running Linux 2.6.3 kernel.

I have tried with and without i810 module.
XFree86 is 4.4.0 (as installed from pkgsrc).
/var/log/XFree86.0.log says:

...
(**) I810(0): DRI is disabled because it runs only at 16-bit depth.
I also tried 16-bit so i810 DRI would stay enabled. But that didn't help.
The GL-related use still crashed X.
What should I do so she can use GL applications?
Thank you,
