I'm not disagreeing, but I've seen some very strange crap over the years
come from those closed source video drivers so I do not trust them at

If you can reproduce this without it loaded, please send the new oops

glad to work with you to track this down.

Oh, can you also reproduce it with 2.6.24-rc3?
