Yooo!
Just decided to do some experimentation on my Radeon 9800 XT/Pro. I finally decided to just replace the tinygl.library from MorphOS 2.7 onto my fresh install of 3.1 with good results... I had symptoms of random crashes any time MOS would go to do anything "3D", so to say when I go to access the screensaves, the 3D ones will immediately lock the system. This locking occured on the latest tinygl library that comes with 3.1.
I found my 2.7 CD and copied over tinygl and overwrote the file for the older one. Now, when I go to the screensaves, the 3D ones won't come up, but it doesn't lock the system when you click on any 3D screensaver. Now, it also fixes the issue I had months ago about the Radeon 9200SEs that would have corrupted/random black and white polygons scattered everywhere.
So somehow and in someway it seems that tinygl was locking my system at random times. So far i'm going 3 hours without a single crash. Been browsing ebay/checking facebook/email while I have mplayer on a playlist with videos/AmIRC/Polyglot etc... No crash. This is with me loading heavy pages and scrolling up/down like a mad man trying to get it to explode. OWB is running great.
Just wanted to share my experience so far. Going to leave and run this MDD till it decides it can't take anymore and crash.
