Ok, the summary isn't very clear... here I'll try to explain the problems better. HARDWARE: AMD Duron ASUS A7V (chipset VIA VT8363 + VIA VT82C686A) AGP Card: 3dfx Vodoo Banshee (16 Mb) Problems: 1) rendering issues... hard to describe example: while running tuxracer TUX becomes of a flat gray sometimes! and other strage things about 3D rendering 2) quitting from tuxracer (for example), when the resolution is restored, I have an HARD CRASH (not only X, this is a totally freeze, I can only reboot) ALL works fine in 6.7.0-r1! What's happening with 6.8.0?

Ajax, could you take a glance at this?
the crash isn't too unusual, i've got a bug open for something similar upstream. haven't tried tuxracer in recent memory, i'll give it a shot next time i swap the voodoo5 in.
I've discovered some interesting things about the crash. (Now I'm running 6.8.0-r3, but should be the same for all 6.8.0...) 1) the crash has nothing to do with DRI, because I can reproduce it even with DRI disabled 2) it happens during resolution switch BUT I can't reproduce it with a "normal" switch ("CTRL" + "ALT" + "+") SO I think the problem could be in "GLX" since tuxracer uses it... 3) The crash actually happens ONLY when I move the mouse during the switch 4) The crash ISN'T an HARD CRASH (as I said) but only an X crash: playing with SysRq keys I'm able to kill X (kill every program on the current console), relogin and restart X: this is the only way I know to restore graphic mode and than go back to text mode.
in that case, this crash sounds exactly like https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=994 so we can go ahead and mark this one UPSTREAM. for the rendering issues i'd appreciate it if you could open a bug in bugs.fd.o, preferably with a screenshot showing the problem.
yes, it seems the same problem... now I'll open a new bug report for "rendering issues"
