So maybe your kernel or X log is filling up somehow? The message about not getting fences means libdrm detected that your kernel doesn't support execbuf fencing. I don't think the execbuf fencing patch is in Dave's tree yet, so you might try Eric's drm-intel-next branch instead. -- Jesse Barnes, Intel Open Source Technology Center ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
