I was running an update on one of my PC's and the following happens consistently: 1. qsa gets unpacked, the first configure runs fine. 2. qsa also has a second stage type of configure where a C++ program gets compiled and then run. This results in the following lines beeing displayed and then the session locks up, it also seems to corrupt the filesystem and any attempt to run utilities like ps, top etc results in a solid lockup partly through the display of their result. ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /dev/dri/card0 ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /dev/dri/card1 The only solution now is to reboot and repair the filesystem. On another identical PC, but with a different set of program versions, almost the stable branch (Xfree from development branch and KDE from CVS), the emerge process displays the same lines as above, but eventually continues to compile and ends with: ------------ ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY ---------- LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-qsa-1.0.0.log" open_wr: /dev/dri/card0 open_wr: /dev/dri/card1 open_wr: /dev/dri/card2 etc...

i cant reproduce this, seems problem with DRI, which drivers are you using?
