I'm on RELENG_7 with an nVidia graphics card driven by nvidia. My amd64 machine also has an nVidia card driven by nv. Both cards support render. Assuming your card supports render, you could try removing ltasneededhack from evo's Makefile, then rebuild it. That's really the biggest change we have from stock Evo. I don't see how that could cause redraw problems. If it doesn't work, you could check with the Evo developers, or file a bug in GNOME's Bugzilla. >=20 > Also, on my P4 laptop (Dell 5160), the clock applet is crashing > instantly on startup.

You'll need to rebuild at least gnome-panel with debugging symbols, and probably libc and libpthread as well. Then, run /usr/local/libexec/clock-applet in gdb, add the applet to the panel, and get a back trace when it crashes.
