Tested version: 1.2.0, since I'm trying to get it working on Amarok via 'libvisual'. Steps of reproduction: 1) 'emerge media-plugins/libvisual-projectm' 2) start a projectm visualisation (e.g. in Amarok) 3) see the visualisation die (e.g. in Amarok see the visualisation window appear (blank) for a split-second and then close itself) What I've learnt on the #projectm IRC channel is that opensource drivers *might* have problems with FBO and it might solve the problem to turn FBO off (e.g. using 'ccmake') if such drivers are used.

Not reliable. You can always install a different driver after having build projectm. Sounds more lika a driver problem.
Well, if that is so, I suppose I don't know of a possible cheap workaround and I'm raising the severity level back to normal.
