Sure, it can handle it, but it's far from ideal nonetheless. Well I just guessed there's a reason things are handled that way :-) If you think about what would happen if the X server decided to do a pageflip (rather than the application doing one), it should be clear - you'd end up on page 0, sure, but there would be a half-rendered scene in what the application thought was the backbuffer. You could jump through all sorts of hoops trying to get things to work out - perhaps tell the app to abandon that frame, generate expose events to make sure that it really is rendering a new frame. Or backcopy the old frontbuffer over the top of what was the backbuffer, etc. In short it would be a mess. The only real choice is to leave pageflipping to the application and have the X server and everybody else deal with the possibility that you might end up on page 1 after a session of flipping. -- Configure bugmail: https://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. --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.

dual-TMU support
Wasn't sure whether to send this to dri-users or dri-devel but it's sort of a bug report so I figured I'd send it here. Following the Building instructions on the DRI Wiki I believe I have DRI working on my Thinkpad T42 (Radeon Mobility M10). glxinfo tells me: direct rendering: Yes and I seem to get about 1340 fps in glxgears. Not great, but certainly better than software. Quake 2 seems to run fine with glx support. (Both glxgears and Q2 print various messages like TODO - double side stencil ! and user error: Need more than 2 vertices to draw primitive QS ! but I assume those are mostly debugging-related). My (perhaps overly ambitious) goal, however, would be to be able to run World of Warcraft. It runs under Wine with fglrx, but I experience frequent crashes and of course in any case would prefer to use free drivers. :) Running WoW with the r300 driver yields this complaint: Your 3D accelerator card is not supported by World of Warcraft. Please install a 3D accelerator card with dual-TMU support. Anyone know if this is a known limitations or whatnot? For kicks, in case it's interesting to anyone, I put my Xorg.log up as http://www.chiappa.net/~chris/xorg-r300.log.gz -- ..ooOO [EMAIL PROTECTED] | My opinions are my own OOoo.. ..ooOO [EMAIL PROTECTED] | and certainly not those OOoo.. ..ooOO http://www.chiappa.net/~chris/ | of my employer OOoo.. --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.

What needs to be synchronized? The page contents. :) See RADEONEnablePageFlip(). BTW, that blit should probably really set the destination offset instead of using coordinates... -- Configure bugmail: https://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. --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
