[Bug 635362] Re: Xorg assert failure: X: /usr/include/xorg/privates.h:122: dixGetPrivateAddr: Assertion `key->initialized' failed.

[Mike L]

The current savage driver has problems rendering any OpenGL application.
The experimental one, which can be found as a DEB off of Debian's
website, sort of fixes the problem.  It can be found at
<http://packages.debian.org/experimental/xserver-xorg-video-savage>. The
problem that Daniel is having is relating to OpenGL attempting to
initialise itself with Gnome's screensaver, and failing due to bugs in
the Savage driver. This causes X to crash, and X restarts, logging the
user off. This happens with other OpenGL applications as well, such as
OpenGL accelerated video in VLC or Gnome MPlayer, ZSnes with OpenGL
enabled, Neverball, and other multimedia applications/games. By
downloading the experimental version off of Debian's website, the
crashes will stop. This, however, leads to another problem: OpenGL is
painfully slow even in simple applications with the newer savage driver.
But at least it works. And it seems the I will get funky colours if I
use hardware accelerated X11 on an application such as Snes9x, even with
the new driver. I hope somebody knows what/how to fix this driver. Help
is appreciated, as this bug has many duplicates, so it must be having a
negative impact in many other places as well.
