Er, 6.8.2 is the version even in etch, so downgrading would be difficult. It looks to me to be 64-bit specific, like, it's iterating through a 4294967295 planes trying to do something the chip doesn't even support, instead of skipping that feature. So if you can live without DRI for a little while, they will probably have this fixed, or at least a patch available.

As I understand it, the problem is localized to the R100 series of GPUs which includes the Radeon 7000/VE I have installed on my box. > I think this started over DRI support for the ancient 7000 Radeon. > However, I haven't seen any testing results posted.

I believe this is the bug I am experiencing: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5104 Also, having dug around some, I believe it has to do with the dynamic clocking patch but I'm not a C coder, don't have access to a serial console, etc. There are no messages in the logs -- just a hard freeze of the system. I'm not using any driver options. I have turned off MTRR, which is also buggy, in the Screen section. I tried setting SWCursor as suggested in another bug in the Free Desktop bugzilla but that didn't help. -s signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

If the open source ATI Radeon driver has bugs you don't like, you are free to jump in and fix them. It works quite well for me on multiple systems including my amd64. I think this started over DRI support for the ancient 7000 Radeon. However, I haven't seen any testing results posted. I know there is a comment in the code that it's experimental, but have you actually tried it and found it to be buggy? a -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: 64/32 with DRI
Radeon 7000 DRI in xorg 6.8.2 is "unstable" apparently. See this message: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2005-September/msg0.html --- - DRI is now enabled by default on all ATI Radeon hardware except for the Radeon 7000/Radeon VE chipsets, which is known to be unstable for many users currently when DRI is enabled. Radeon 7000 users can re-enable DRI if desired by using Option "DRI" in the device section of the config file, with the understanding that we consider it unstable currently. --- Man that sucks. -s signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

64/32 with DRI
Hi, I'm running linux-image-2.6.14-2-amd64-k8-smp on 32-bit 'sid' (haven't made the time to go all-64 yet). I have an old Radeon 7000 and I'm using the standard "radeon" driver. While DRI appears to initialize correctly in the Xorg.log.0, glxinfo reports that direct rendering is off and opening any GL app causes the machine to halt. Any ideas?
