Hi again,

[First of all, it would be cool to keep the bug in Cc. ;-)]

OK, driver bug, or mesa bug, then. After having asked on #debian-x:

<MrCooper> some Mesa r128 driver bugs along those lines were fixed a
           while ago, the fixes may not have made it into etch

No problem, many X driver or mesa problems are spotted by using blender
(or wings3d, or...) since it is quite 3D-intensive. I guess you can
reassign this bugreport to mesa, precising the version you're using. You
can follow the bts instructions[1], first command to do the
reassignment.

Given your input, looks like blender is not a fault, so that wouldn't
change anything.
