I discovered this by doing a ktrace on glxinfo, and then looking through the tracefile with kdump. As soon as I saw that it failed to load r200_dri.so (for my radeon card) I knew there was something wrong. And indeed /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/ was empty. So now I've got 6.7.0 working again. I'll try updating to 6.8.1 after xmas. Roland --=20 R.F.
