X crashing? Slowing? .. with i810 driver - xorg-x11-6.7.99.903-1

[Jim Cornette]

I tried the latest CVS version and found that X and startx seemed to die 
as processes after a short time running on the 815 video card . Gnome 
kept using whatever residual elements were on screen 7. Anyway, I 
submitted the below bug against the i810 driver.

https://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1232

As a note: I am compiling the src rpm w/ the below commands to see if it 
fares better. ..
rpmbuild --rebuild --target i686 xorg-x11-6.7.99.903-1.src.rpm

At least it is alive again. After compiling and installing the i686 
rpms, the results will be added to the bug report.

Just in case other users have similar troubles w/ the latest driver.

Jim
