Hi developers, just wanted to describe I experienced with using dri in combination with a mvp3 chipset from via.
The first board I tried out was an ATI Radeon 32MB SDR. As also mentioned on the DRI website it produced hangups in combination with my chipset. Even Mozilla (so a 2d app that doesnt run accelerated) locked up after about 30 seconds since i've started xfree86. Well then i switched back to my voodoo banshee and everything was okay again (of course except for the gaming performance) so i bought a Rage 128 pro graphics card some days ago to test this one. Luckily xfree86 works ok and i havent noticed any issues with it, except for the DRI. DRI hangs up after just about 3 seconds (even glxgears hangs up!). I tried a lot of stuff (bios settings, clocking down the RAM, using newest xfree86 4.2.0 and so on) but unfortunately without a good outcome. I also tried installing the board under windows which works fine - all accelerated opengl apps (like quake2/3 or rtcw) work fine there. ATI mentioned on its website conflicts with the mvp3 chipset and told people to use their newest rage128 pro drivers, so i think the problem has been resolved there. Is there someone out there who has an idea how to get xfree86/dri working properly? If you need any more information (outputs from dmesg, xfree86-logs or whatever) please tell me so i will post them here.
