Mint Isadora (Lucid) graphics performance has been greatly improved with the Glasenhart drivers and libdrm. However, certain GL-screensavers (for example, Ant Inspect, Ant Maze, Atlantis) instantly bring down the system. I would like to be able to do a backtrace on these crashes, but do not know how to configure strace and xtrace in the terminal. Any help would be appreciated.
A solution seems very close, we now have flash stability and GoogleEarth operates without problems on i845, there simply seem to be some remaining issues with open-GL (Admittedly this could be a problem with Mesa, rather then the i915 driver. I have no way of knowing.)
