This can happen intermittently during normal operation, but when it persists that probably means the card has locked up. Unfortunately, the symptoms of a lockup don't really say anything about its cause.

That's not quite what happens. The ioctl transfers texture data from userspace memory to video RAM using indirect buffers. As an indirect buffer is only 64KB, it usually has to split up the data across several buffers, and when all of them are in use, it returns to userspace so it can later pick up where it left off. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
