Code could be written to deal with swapping out of the app's own memory allocations (dealing with "out of video/agp memory" for the single app case), but it's just a workaround for a very poor memory management implementation. The DRI common memory allocator has its own issues, but it's much better overall I'd say. The issues of backwards compatibility requirements are enough that I don't want to spend my time on that right now, and would rather spend it thinking about a new general memory allocator. For you, you probably want to just figure out how to get AGP working properly, which will be used as a fallback when you run out of card memory. I don't think strace output of broken apps would be useful to me. There are still known glean errors to be taken care of, along with trying to get information from SiS on how to do GL_BLEND properly so that modern games don't hit software fallbacks. Simple demos with source are the best way to deal with getting rendering errors fixed. If you can come up with those, then a fix is usually pretty quick to produce. -- Eric Anholt [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
