Xgl crashes after 10 minutes

I have succesfully compiled and run xgl using arch, xorg7 and ati-drivers-arch.  Everything works great for about 10 minutes and then the system crashes and I can then only reboot to get it back.

Using normal xorg7 without xgl the system is very stable.

Is this normal?  Is there anyway of logging what is going on when it crashes?

Re: Xgl crashes after 10 minutes

superman: I get a similar problem with the newest fglrx and xorg 7; if I've been running my xserver too long, when I try to exit or run a full-screen GL app (glxgears still works) then the system hardlocks.

Haven't found a solution yet... but having a GL-accelerated desktop sounds like a "full-screen GL app" to me, so maybe we're having the same problem?
