Hi.
If I comment out "Load dri" from my xorg.conf, all the problems go away. I'm guessing that's what you meant by "disable hardware acceleration."
The error is a segmentation fault either in driCreateContext() or driDestroyContext(), depending on if I'm trying to create a new opengl enabled window or killing one. This happens in r200_dri.so.
Just for clarity, it doesn't matter if I'm sharing lists or not, or even if I'm using display lists or not. My app has a
gtknotebook in it that I'm putting my windows into, if I open a few opengl windows, then close one, any one, and then either open or close another, I get this crash I've been whining about for I think 2 weeks now. Unless I either set the direct context parameter in gtk_widget_set_gl_capability() to false OR comment out the "Load dri." Then all is well. But slooooooowwww.
I also tried all of this as root, because I'm still not comfortable with udev, on the off chance I have a permission issue. I get exactly the same behavior.
Based on that, I'm assuming that something is wrong with my r200_dri.so (I have a radeon 9200). I've got a good mind to pull it out of my computer and spank it. Hard.
thanks for listening

do you
still get this error? And
what is the error exactly? Does X return a short statement about the
error? I know there was one regarding "Bad Color" something and another
one I would get, but it would not show up if hardware acceleration was
off. I thought all of those bugs were fixed, though.

It doesn't matter if I'm using display lists, and it doesn't even matter if it's my code. I loaded up some one else's code that opens and closes multiple windows, and I get the same crash. It always happens in "r200_dri.so" and it happens either during driCreateContext() or driDestroyContext().
