intel X.org crashes on current branches and GM965

[Tobias Hain]

Hello,

The intel module loads fine (dri, dri2, libglx as well):

(II) LoadModule: "intel"
(II) Loading /opt/gfx-test/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so
(II) Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
	compiled for 1.5.99.3, module version = 2.5.99
	Module class: X.Org Video Driver
	ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 5.0

I even have kdm up and running, but once it loads the KDE 4.1.2 desktop it
crashes. To me it looks like the moment when it loads the 3D compositing
manager and also the stacktrace suggests that.

I missed adding "intel" and GM965 to the subject line in the first place.
That's why I keep the original message attached. Hope somebody recognizes
this one:

Regards,
7oby

do the drm and intel module load at x startup? i has some similar messages
some
time ago on radeon caused by modules not autoloading at x startup. i've
added
them to autoload at startup and then it worked. for some reason after
the 1.5 release
i couldn't start x without them forcedly loaded by the kernel. try
loading the modules
manually and see if something changes.
