Bug#370814: same problem

[Sean Proctor]

Hi,

I'm having the same problem, which seems to have been resolved by using the
framebuffer. Before trying that, I tried manually setting the amount of
video ram on the card (read somewhere that that might help). I thought the
card had 32mb, and put that in. At that point, opengl apps would run, but
things would kind of appear randomly on the screen. I realized I only had
16mb of video ram. It's weird to me that apps weren't crashing when I put
the wrong amount in, but were crashing when I put the right amount in.
Anyway, switching to use the framebuffer device stopped the crashing.

Is there anything I can do to figure out where the problem is stemming from?

Thanks,
Sean
