First post on this topic, sorry if it's messy. I have an amd64 portable (Mitac 8355) with a RV350 (Mobility Radeon 9600 M10). I just updated the drivers yesterday, and tried enabling VB mode by altering that #if 1. The system did a hard lockup pretty much immediately on running glxgears; at least one frame was drawn, then not even network logins worked. The update also brought another curious change. Back in immediate mode, there now seems to be some sort of waiting going on that shouldn't be. GL apps tend to freeze their display unless there are events for the X server to deal with, such as touchpad input. dmesg is full of this: [drm:radeon_cp_dispatch_swap] *ERROR* Engine timed out before swap buffer blit glxgears tends to resume for short bursts occasionally, but neverputt does not. I tried rolling back the Mesa and Xorg drivers separately, but it appears to me like this is caused by a DRM change. crack-attack does not suffer from this problem. glxgears reports normal framerates (>90 fps on 1400x1050, window size 1398x1030) despite few visual updates occurring. Tips on how to proceed isolating this would be very welcome. The previous update, if I am not mistaken, was from about four or five days ago. -- PGP fingerprint = 9242 DC15 2502 FEAB E15F 84C6 D538 EC09 5380 5746
