That's probably because the scratch registers are used for synchronizing with the card, which is where a hardware lockup manifests itself. Unfortunately, while the symptoms of such lockups are thus often similar, they don't really indicate anything about the cause. > If I'm reading the code correctly, the scratch registers are per device, not > per client.

No, the scratch register contents should be well defined regardless of the number of clients. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
