Bug Description
I've just installed Ubuntu 6.06 on a new PC based around the Gigabyte GA-k8VM800M motherboard. This has a built-in graphic card which the manual describes as "VIA K8M800".
Whenever I try to run a "3D" app in full-screen mode the entire machine hangs completely. (So it looks like maybe a MESA problem?) The way forward is to press the reset button.

Found this web page which seems to have a bearing on the problem.

It appears that I +may+ have a driver that +may+ help but I'm afraid I don't know how to tell what driver I'm currently using...
