Hello, I am trying to get a Radeon 9000 pro to work using the latest DRI CVS tree, but encountering a few problems.
The system in question is a pair of opterons running on a Tyan S2885 board, with Suse 9.0 Professional (AMD64) installed and the latest 2.4.21-149 kernel. I get the same results whether building/installing the whole tree, or building/installing just the radeon.o module. After manually modprobing agpgart, and starting X, glxinfo reports that direct rendering is enabled, and I can run either multiple GL apps or instances of apps that do not use textures (like glxgears, or bubble3d from the xscreensaver modules), or a single instance of a GL app that uses textures. Attempting to run more than one GL app with at least one of the apps using textures results in the apps freezing up, and the keyboard locking. The mouse cursor still responds, but not the buttons. The framerate is slower than I expected (a little under 2000 fps with 1 (not resized) instance of glxgears, on a 1600x1200 24-bit screen), but I may just have unrealistic expectations here. No obvious errors turn up with dmesg, /var/log/messages, /var/log/XFree86.0.log, or .X.err, even with -verbose 5 and -logverbose 5. I can provide log/config files if desired, although I'm pretty sure there's nothing out of the ordinary in XF86Config. If I'm just missing something in the way of configuration, please redirect me. I've been reading whatever I can find in way of related posts from the mailing list archives and elsewhere.
