To get direct rendering to work with my card (Intel 915GM) I had to get the latest xorg (6.8.99.3). I got it working after some testing but then I discovered that anytime I try to shutdown/restart X.org my computer just hangs. I also tried loging in into ctrl+alt+f1 and running /etc/init.d/xdm stop. Then I get a lot of text scrolling by, seems to be stacktraces repeated over and over again. Finally the scrolling stops. The other time I tried I got a kernel panic but I didnt have a paper ready and just rebooted, this time I got a stacktrace. I didnt write it all down cuz its so much, but it says "Trying to fix ut up, but a reboot is needed Bad page state at __free_pages_ok (in process 'X' " The stacktrace seems to be i915 trying to do something. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start X with glx enabled and driver i810 (xorg's own ver) + module: i915 drm 2.shutdown X Actual Results: (/etc/init.d/xdm stop gave lots of text then) The computer freezed. Expected Results: Continue running How I installed the i915(gm)-driver. downloaded common-20050504-linux.i386 and i915-20050504-linux.i386 from http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots configured kernel not to have drm installed the drivers reinstalled xorg 6.8.99.3 cuz the driver installers replaced the xorg-driver
