xorg-dev ATI X1550 drm problem

Hi,

thanks for the reply. :-) Also sorry for double-posting the initial mail,
not intentional.

No. Is this still necessary with the xorg-dev repository? I thought this was
just for the stock X-server to pick up a more recent Mesa? At least the
installed libGL is of version 7.11, which is the correct one.

I know, the card is very old. But the issue is not a low framerate or
anything. It just crashes the complete X as soon as I start either warzone
or nexuiz. Not even a CTRL+F1 is possible to break to the console.

Both worked with the stock X-server version, therefore this seems to be a
regression with the development X-server.

still the 3D-related error remains the same.

Anybody got any further ideas?
