I did some more looking around based on what your log showed. It seems that it''s commonly caused by misconfiguring the DRM built into the kernel (and/or by a bug in early 4.2.x XFree86 releases, but that''s not applicable). If you built your kernel yourself, look into that. Otherwise, try upgrading your kernel and, if it persists, either look into how it was built or ask whoever is responsible to do something along those lines. Apparently (from a Red Hat discussion I ran across), not many people with ATI Rage 128 cards use DRI, so such issues can go unnoticed for a while.

Well I just installed slackware, and it''s having the same thing.. Forgive my linux noobness showing through here, but is there anyway to just upgrade 1 part of the kernel without recompiling the whole thing?

Not really. And "The whole thing" is hardly anything.

Kernel compiles take only a few (less than 10) minutes here.

how do I put DRM into the kernel?
