Hmm, I am only familiar with the 24bpp accelerated rendering code since I
fixed it up to make it work.  Try forcing shared memory off and see if
that helps(THough I think it should make no difference).  If this doesn't
work try turning off the fast rendering and see if that helps.  You can do
this in your ~/.imrc file.  If turning off fast rendering helps then I
guess I will have to look at my mods and see what I broke :)
