Hi, Just had a question about DRI/DRM using the Intel i915 module on an 845G. Using fullscreen modes that have a resolution different from the display at startup can cause the xserver to halt and restart. This actually happened more under 6.1 STABLE than 6.2-PRE. After building world I can usually go for about a day or so without this behavior appearing. Then it will occur and, after the first occurrance, it will generally have that behavior until a subsequent rebuilding of world. I usually avoid this by modifying games so that they either run in a window or use the default resolution, so there's an easy workaround. I was just curious if I were doing something dumb or if that's just life right now. Charles See below: I had been getting messages under 6.1-STABLE like: Sep 21 05:09:07 elbereth kernel: Warning: pid 3307 used static ldt allocation. Sep 21 05:09:07 elbereth kernel: See the i386_set_ldt man page for more info Sep 21 05:11:52 elbereth kernel: error: [drm:pid3311:drm_close] *ERROR* can't find authenticator... But after rebuilding world/kernel to 6.2-PRE (STABLE) these have largely disappeared - and I still am using the same apps. About the only thing I see currently are some errors generated when recording a CD via GNOME (atapicam) which have no effect on my getting a good CD and therefore which I ignore.
