Comment 20 for bug 533784

That bug report referenced in Comment #17 suggests that downgrading mesa gets rid of the bug, I tried compiling many many git snapshots from the current 2010-Jan "1.5 Mesa 7.8-devel" all the way back to 2008-Dec "1.3 Mesa 7.3-devel", and all the builds had this bug. (I'm not sure if I can compile versions much older than that -- they complain about something regarding swrast.) So, I don't think it's a mesa problem.

I also have problems compiling older versions of xf86-video-ati :|.

Do the developers not have this bug? (I find the more graphics-intensive the opengl ap, like a huge q3 map, the sooner / more likely it will crash.)
