Hi,

see README.Debian under /usr/share/doc/blender, you can disable DRI on a
per-application basis, using an env. variable. Lowering severity
accordingly.

Thanks apt-file (or packages.debian.org):

Installing the latter package would probably help getting a meaningful
backtrace, so that Xorg folks can see what's going on.

BTW, are other 3D-demanding packages (e.g. 3D games) running fine on
your system? Blender is often victim of driver bugs, since it's using
3D features a lot — when available.

Cheers,
