Summary: cataclysmic system failure with git i915tex and Warsow
video game.
Product: Mesa
Version: CVS
Platform: x86 (IA32)
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Drivers/DRI/i915
AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Serious crash. The screen goes all psychedelic plaid on me. Bright flashing
colors with vertical and horizontal lines all moving about rapidly. Static
noise comes out the speaker and the system is instantly unresponsive. Hard lock
up. Total system failure. Have to reboot and fsck corrects the file system. etc
etc.
I am using Debian Sid with all up to date packages. Default kernel 2.6.18-4-686
System is using a Asus 945g motherboard with Pentium-D 930. Running dual core.
Using Git versions of:
drm
linux-agp-compat
mesa
xf86-video-intel
The thing is is that the system has been stable for me running mostly any sort
of OpenGL application.
I've played a little of:
Torcs, Flight Gear, gl-117, wolfenstein, enemy-territory/truecombat, tremulous,
nexuiz.
the only game that wouldn't work was Tremulous, which had some weird graphic
glitches at the beginning and ran so badly I couldn't make it past the first
screen.
However Warsow is the game that is causing the severe crash.
Before I ran it under using the 915_dri.so driver supplied by Debian and that
ran fine, but it didn't have the performance I wanted. So I tried the
i915_dri.so and drm stuff from git and that provided good enough performance,
but it crashed X after a while. Then i figure I'll try to give the git version
of i810 a try since the problem could be X related, maybe. So to do that then
it automaticly started choosing the i915tex driver (which I originally didn't
compile, but built it to see what happened).
So now instead of just taking X out it is crashing the whole system very badly.
I'll try to get some information for you while using the i915 driver...
