Re: [Dri-devel] Re: [Dri-users] Flashing textures problem with ATIRadeon 7500
Please try the current DRM, I'm curious if recent changes make a difference. Using the DRI-CVS from the evening of Feb 5, 2003, I saw no change. Textures still flicker and it is still possible to lock up the server with endgame (and possibly others. It's just easiest to get that behavior with endgame.)

Re: [Dri-devel] Re: [Dri-users] Flashing textures problem with ATIRadeon 7500
I'll second this. In some of the screenhacks from xscreensaver 4.06, there is flickering when they are displayed on the root window (as you would normally play them as screensavers). With a quick check, I notice this behavior in superquadrics, atlantis, moebius, queens, and pulsar (there are probably more.) I'm currently using: $ X -version This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any way.

Re: [Dri-devel] Confusing..?
cd programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel/ make -f Makefile.linux MODULE.o I would just add that if you're using a kernel that uses a better source directory naming scheme (e.g. 2.4.19 unpacks to linux-2.4.19 whereas 2.4.18 unpacks to just linux), you'll want to use the TREE=/usr/src/linux-2.4.XX/include option in your make command. Like so: make -f Makefile.linux TREE=/usr/src/linux-2.4.XX/include MODULE.o (I've never included the MODULE.o part, but if that works, then sweet. No sense in building r128 modules when I've got a Radeon.) and then as root: cp MODULE.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm/ depmod -a where MODULE.o corresponds to the drm-driver you need -Andy [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com ___ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
Re: [Dri-devel] DRI-CVS pseudo-lockups on radeon.o (Radeon VE/7000)
I could reproduce your X lockups with my Radeon 7500 by disabling TCL (RADEON_TCL_FORCE_DISABLE=1) which is as close as I can get to your Radeon VE. I don't use the dri_resume patch. From your telling that it helped to kill the offending GL app it sounds like the GL app gets stuck somewhere while holding the lock. It would be helpful to know where exactly that is. Unfortunately I don't have a second system at hand to log in remotely from. Could you reproduce a lockup with a GL app running in a remote debugger session. When the system is locked up you press Ctrl+C in the debugger, get backtrace with the bt command and send it to the list. I tried to do this from a remote machine and locally, and both times, I get errors like: ** $ gdb GNU gdb 5.0 Copyright 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

It appears to me that I need to compile endgame (and/or other GL hacks) with debugging information. I don't know how to do this, though. If you could direct me to some information about how I would go about it, I'd much appreciate it. About the flickering when running endgame on the root window, I could reproduce that too, even with TCL enabled. It looks to me like it is using a single buffered visual in that case. Curiously this doesn't happen when xscreensaver runs endgame on the root window. I was reading a document later about graphics coding and it mentioned that erasing the image you wanted to move, and then redrawing it would produce flicker and the solution to this was double-buffering and it reminded me of the flickering I see when running the GL hacks. I tried, and when having xscreensaver run the hacks in the root window, I get flickering. Curiouser and curiouser.

Re: [Dri-devel] DRI-CVS pseudo-lockups on radeon.o (Radeon VE/7000)
You need to continue here. OpenGL library is trying to determine SSE extension availability. You could have been a bit more explicit, like: At this point, type continue.

[Dri-devel] DRI-CVS pseudo-lockups on radeon.o (Radeon VE/7000)
Hello. I've been having some troubles with dri-cvs for some time when running GL apps (especially the GL hacks that come with JWZs xscreensaver). In particular, I've noticed problems when running endgame and menger on the root and in windows and then running other windows over them or moving the GL apps window around. Occasionally, my X session locks up completely, and I can only move the mouse around, X's three-finger-salute doesn't work. What I have been able to do when this occurs (other than a hard reset) is to log in over the network and kill the offending GL app. Then, my X session is usable again. I'm currently using: $ X -version snip XFree86 Version 4.2.99.2 (DRI trunk) / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: 21 October 2002 snip Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.18 i686 [ELF] I updated my dri-cvs tree on the evening of Jan24, 2003 and compiled/installed it (and then the kernel modules). My video card is a Radeon VE (what is now called a Radeon 7000), I'm using it on the VGA head (as opposed to the DVI) on an ASUS CUBX-E at AGP 2, and I've also applied Charl Botha's dri_resume patch http://cpbotha.net/files/dri_resume/xfree86-dri-resume-v6.patch and I have suspended and resumed several times since the last boot. I have also, however, restarted X since the last resume. I'm using the screenhacks from v 4.06 of xscreensaver http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/xscreensaver-4.06.tar.gz. *** UNRELATED (I HOPE) *** In an unrelated note, when I play these hacks on the root window, they flicker a lot, unlike the non-GL, 2D hacks. ** If anyone's interested in this problem and would like me to provide any more information or test some patches, let me know.

Re: [Dri-devel] full box lockup.
A friend of mine reported something like this (haven't seen it myself). For him, killing the DRI client(s) resumes normal operation. Can you confirm that? If so, that's not an actual lockup. I can confirm that. Testing again, it's not too easily reproduceable here (which doesn't help much). However, if I load some DRI screenhacks and move their windows around a bit, the X server will occasionally lock up. Then, if I log in over the network and kill the clients, I can use the X server again. -Andy --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ___ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
Re: [Dri-devel] radeon.o DRM modules breaks my CD player (!)
Are you sure your HDD is using DMA? Maybe you could post the result of `hdparm -Tt /dev/hda' (or whatever disk is your root harddisk. -Tt is a nondestructive test and should tell you how many MB/s you can get to your drive. With DMA off, it will be quite low (3MB or so per second), but with DMA on, you should get 30-40MB/s). -Andy --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ___ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
Re: [Dri-devel] full box lockup.
I'm having similar problems. I re-co'ed the CVS tree this evening (Nov 24 2002) and rebuilt it. The build and install went well, when it hadn't earlier. I was hopeful. However, when I run any openGL demo from xscreensaver (http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/) or reallyslick (http://www.reallyslick.com), and move a window over them, my system completely locks up. The mouse still works, but the keyboard is unuseable, and any usually-updated windows (xload, ascpu) don't update anymore. The other annoying thing that happens when running the screensavers is that a message is output onto the terminal telling me that it is disabling TCL, which my Radeon VE does not have. Hopefully this will be removed prior to any actual release. The screensavers are nicely accelerated, however, as is playing videos with mplayer/xine through the xv extension.
