Brian,

Per your comment #231, I removed the shadow branch PPA: ok
I installed the version "2:2.12.0+git20100913.08c2caca-0ubuntu0sarvatt~lucid": I guess this is the version from xorg-edgers.
Then I shutdown my computer and powered on again.
I tested glxinfo | grep "direct rendering": answer is "direct rendering: Yes".
I can also run my Celestia program (which uses OpenGL I think), so this seems stable.

So have not the segmentation fault anymore. Thank you for the help.

@Anthony: thank you for your info. Maybe you are right. I am not expert enough with this.

As I told before the youtube video seems significantly more jerky than before, but I can't tell you for sure if this is since upgrading to 10.04, or upgrading my X server to 1.8.2, sorry for this. Maybe there exist some performance measurement tool that would reflect more objectively this video "fluidity downgrade" ...

Best Regards,
Jean-Marie
