The downside is that now glxgears crashes upon execution: [liveuser@localhost ~]$ glxgears (r300_render.c:r300EmitAOS:252) offset : 984 (r300_render.c:r300EmitAOS:252) offset : 984 (r300_render.c:r300EmitAOS:252) offset : 504 (r300_render.c:r300EmitAOS:252) offset : 504 (r300_render.c:r300EmitAOS:252) offset : 504 (r300_render.c:r300EmitAOS:252) offset : 504 (r300_render.c:r300EmitAOS:252) offset : 984 (r300_render.c:r300EmitAOS:252) offset : 984 (r300_render.c:r300EmitAOS:252) offset : 504 (r300_render.c:r300EmitAOS:252) offset : 504 (r300_render.c:r300EmitAOS:252) offset : 504 (r300_render.c:r300EmitAOS:252) offset : 504 Segmentation fault
