After sleeping on the problem & reading Forum discussion re 'x11-drm',
I've tried a few more things, none of which makes any difference:
permutating some options under 'Device' in xorg.conf ,
checking all relevant items are enabled in the kernel
& finally unmerging 'x11-drm', which seems rather flakey
& whose removal had not the slightest effect (wry smile).
However, I did notice 2 lines on the screen after the crashes:
Unrecognised deviceID 29c2
backtrace ...
... /usr/lib64/dri/i915_dri.so ... (provided by pkg 'mesa')
This suggests there is some very basic problem re recognising acceleration
on the G33 , caused by a defect in the driver(s) being used.
Can anyone confirm that this is the correct diagnosis ?
It looks like material for a bug report, but Gentoo or LKML ?
A lot of people have been reporting difficulties getting DRI to work here,
tho' only a few seem to have encountered my problem of a crash out of X.
