as i understand gem is producing this errors always when there is no
hardware accelleration ? though it lets u work with gem without hwa,
its chrashes pd when u try to close the gemwin.
or is there some workaraound for this, has somebody gem working
without hwa and problems ?

i guess the ati mobility m3 is also a mach64 chip ?
there is no x4.1 dri support for this one at the moment,
but there exists a branch in the dri cvs which is currently worked
on. i lurked a little bit the last days at their developer list as i have
the same chip in my notebook, and it seems that there is soon something
useful available.

cheers
