I have this problem too. I don't think it will be as simple as tweaking any config files though. Perhaps the eventual arrival of DRI2 will improve things. I don't know too much about the fglrx situation either, other than what I've read at the Phoronix forums. Perhaps help can be found there.
This issue came after the Hardy upgrade though, right? weird. I may try compiling against opengl 1.5, as I did in gutsy.
But yes, any opengl/X/linux wizards, please help. Will gladly post X logs.

Hey all,
I'm running ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron on my macbook pro, and everything seems to be in good working order, except when I try and create a gem window. The moment I create a gem window, X11 crashes and restarts. If I take away the fglrx driver and use the opensource version of ati's drivers, it seems to work just fine, but I'd prefer not to have to use one driver for pd/gem and another for everything else since it screws with my xorg.conf when i switch in between. Any of you hard-core linux guys know a workaround for this, like a setting in a config file or something of that nature?
