Re: [Dri-devel] freezes with r128

Hi,

I had a problem with DRI locking up hard with a Matrox G200 when I 
compiled the DRM into the kernel statically. Since I made it a module 
everything works fine. I didn't investigate this any further, since the 
computer stands in a lab in school ;-). Maybe this hint helps anyway.

Regards,
    Felix Kühling
