[gentoo-user] X server locks up if a 3D game is run

[gentoo-user] X server locks up if a 3D game is run

[Kevin Stangl]

Hello,
I recently bought a new portable with an Intel GMA X3100, which I
believe to be supported by the Intel driver. However, when I attempt to
run many 3D games (tested with Savage and doomsday-1.9.0_beta5), X
locks up and I am seemingly unable to switch VTs. According to its log,
however, it had killed itself. Direct rendering worked out-of-the-box,
however; glxgears functions normally with no lockups as well. In
Windows, both Savage and Doomsday function normally.

Since I didn't want to clutter this post, I put logs/configs on
pastebin.ca.

Xorg.0.log from the crash: http://pastebin.ca/939332
xorg.conf: http://pastebin.ca/939333
uname -r: 2.6.24.3
kernel .config: http://pastebin.ca/939334

Any help would be much appreciated.

There was a thread [1] on this list about dealing with X lock-ups.
Unfortunately, I can't provide you with info on avoiding them.
