Running the current version of the Ryzom game client (version FV 1.10.2 (Nov  9 2010 10:13:38)) yields a semi freeze when passing the login screen and
entering character generation / selection screen. Mouse movement stops for a few seconds then for a fraction of a second mouse input is applied normally.

This behavior is existant also if the login screen window is just minimized.

Recently i noticed that the very same behavior is exhibited by gnash (0.8.8-5) as in conjunction of a specific flash file too. This leads to my belief
that its not an application failure but a problem with the r300 dri renderer (classic).

I'm trying to obtain the specific flash file for further examination and will add this later on.

HW used: R430-based radeon card, using the non-free microcode, the oss radeon driver and KMS set to active.
