Thanks for the help, From what I can remember I noticed this around 2.6.26-rc1. It could be an issue with DRI, but then again it could be something else. With running some more tests I'm noticing a conflict with libdri.so, not recognizing the module or the module not recognizing libdri.so. As for the latest git I'll have to pull, and see if it makes a difference. If not then I'll have to sit and keep working this problem until I can figure what is happening "even if my eye ball's fall out of my sockets", and I walk around feeling like I've had brain surgery". regards; -- Justin P.
