[ILUG] Xorg, pax, grsecurity, and dri

[Declan Moriarty]

On a linux topic:

:-(. 
Apparently I now have DRI on my hardened system with xorg-6.9.0,
but I can't use it. You may enjoy a laugh at my expense, then dumb
this down and tell me how to sort it

glxgears (which ran without DRI and said 335 fps) now gets a swift
knee in the unmentionables from the kernel

That's a video page, isn't it (4 megs)? Who executes a video page?
There's plenty og google, but it's programmer jargon or distro
related. 

BTW, stellarium suffers a similar fate once it reaches for the
graphics.
