hi all..
i am supposed to be performing an old work this weekend,
but gem refuses to behave.
i am running gem from cvs, pd 0.41-2, xorg server
1.4.0.90, ati driver 8.2 (8.455.2-r1) on a gentoo linux
platform. [machine: hp/compaq nc6400, card: mobility
radeon X1300]
i have attached my xorg log..
to summarize the x server crashes as soon as i click a
create message on a gemwin. the patch can be as simple as
the create msg and the gemwin object..
the real oddity is that there has been one circumstance
where gem worked, created the gemwin and rendered a simple
cube, but destroying this window froze the machine
completely. i have only seen gem 'work' once out of a good
30 times i have tried..
the backtrace that is spat out is as follows:

i hope someone can shed some light on this.. if it means
downgrading drivers, i am happy to do so but i have little
time for trial and error.. and yes, i know ati cards have
a dismal track record, but this is my only laptop and i am
stuck with the card fitted..
thanks..
