I've just got a 7500 and noticed that the ut2003 demo locks up keboard/screen, possibly whole system. It doesn't do it in 16bpp though - so check your color depth. I'm not sure, but I think I ran the old demo at 24bpp OK. Andy. |

This is a known problem but unfortunatelly there doesn't seem to be much movement to actually try to fix this bug. At least not that I can see.

I lock up fairly quickly if I set 2, One is OK, I think the default is 1, but if you are using higher (glxinfo / XFree log will tell you) It may be worth forcing one. Andy. |
