Summary: R300 problem with multiple glxgears clients, missing docs on GARTSize Product: DRI Version: unspecified Platform: x86-64 (AMD64) OS/Version: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: DRM modules AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was experimenting the new CFS v8/v9 process scheduler on Linux and tried to start multiple glxgears to see whether they are really running smooth and have evenly distributed framerate. At first I could only start two instances of glxgears but the third didn't start saying that it cannot allocate GART memory and try to increase increase GARTSize. First problem: man radeon doesn't have anything about this option, although radeon_drv.so contains this keyword. I tried guessing whether the parameter is in MBs and have set it to 128 but it disabled DRI because of some out of memory condition. Setting it to 64 gave me working DRI and I am able to start up some more instances of glxgears. Second problem: if I start 16 of them, the last 3 behaves very strange, i.e. instead of the spinning gears I get chaotic flickering triangles. As soon as the number of glxgears goes down to 13 every window behaves normal. Third problem: starting up 32 glxgears locked up the machine almost instantly but having only 16 of them also locks up the machine after some time passed. The machine is x86-64, Athlon64 X2 4200, PCIe Radeon X700 with 128MB onboard memory, up-to-date Fedora Core 6.
