Comment 6 for bug 118163

Hi Bryce,

I've searched throughe the bugs mentioned by you, but none of them shows the same symptons as my problem (as far as I can see).
#9080: no 3D program I've tested work (no glxgears either, see Xorg.0.log attached to this comment)
#1280: mouse cursor doesn't work, it is not possible to switch to a console (alt+strg+fX) plus I don't get any error messages for glxgears in the terminal
#10499: there isn't any movement of the gears as it just shows a black window

As mentioned above, glxgears doesn't work. I don't get any error message in the terminal - the glxgears window pops up, it is just black, and the desktop freezes immediately.

After X has frozen I just switch the power off, as I can't switch to a console and as I don't know any other way (strg+alt+backspace doesn't work either - well, I've waited for about 1 minute I guess) to do it ;)
As I don't use any login manager I duplicate the Xorg.0.log file before starting a new X session so that it won't be overwritten.

No, I have never collected a backtrace before.
But if you give me some information/link on how to do it, I will happily collect one :)
