Hello Nate,

you are welcome. I am just the messenger ;-).

Yes, I had this too, but didn't know whether this would be reproducable.

And then after I rebooted I had lots of other crashes and weird behavior, 
cause I initially thought that I only have to install X.org and that the 
savage DRI driver would be included with that. But instead of this I had 
an older savage DRI driver floating around which caused all the crashes 
and weird behaviour. I deleted the old one and copied the one from the 
latest snapshot and finally got working 3D acceleration.

Neat! Isn't it? ;-)
