    Yooo! 8-)

    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. 8-)

    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. 8-)

    .. Checked back and still MOS is running strong with an uptime of 6 hours even after heavy use of OWB. :)
