The radeon CS checker goes far beyond what the Intel hardware provides (and can provide, as e.g. it doesn't know the properties of buffer objects). Whereas on the Thinkpad with a GM45, Mesa driver bugs still result in GPU lockups (with a reboot being the only remedy) too often, on the PowerBook the radeon CS checker usually catches them and sometimes even helps find and fix the bug. That said, the suggestion to use command streams for the overlay doesn't make much sense to me. If that was a good idea, why aren't we doing modesetting that way? -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.vmware.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
