Re: [Dri-devel] Re: mach64-0-0-4-branch snapshots Was: How muchvideo memory is needed?
It seems that the mach64 kernel moduled wasn't replaced from memory, causing a kernel oops. Usually you need to run install.sh without X running (I usually do init 3). Well, at least with 0-0-3 I managed to do in without stopping X. Just install.sh and restarting X was enough. OK, if you tell 0-0-4 _requires_ me to stop X before installing... There shouldn't be much difference since DMA is off. (DMA at this time even slows things more) I am aware of it. So I do not expect too much:) better than 191 in Mesa). Anyway, X is still unable to shut down gracefully - at killall X in xterm I get frozen screen (though Ctl-Alt-Del works as if I were in console). mmm.. I don't see what it could be. Is there any way I can help do find the reason? As said, there could be some problems with the install.sh not replacing everything properly. That's the more likely. Again, how can I debug this? No. There isn't any yet. But we can arrange to something be printed on the system log when the DMA is enabled on runtime. That would be nice. Also, Leif offered to turn DMA on if bus mastering is detected. Is it possible to do it in today/tommorow snapshots? Just to test...

In the previous 0-0-3 branch we almost never messed with the DRM, so it
was binary compatible between all snapshots. Now is exactly the opposite.
Nevertheless you shouldn't need to stop X if you're running your distro X.
You need only if you are running X from a mach64 branch, because in this
situation the kernel module is being used and the install.sh script will
surely fail to remove it from memory.
I run ATI.2 drivers from GATOS. AFAIK this should not cause problems,
should it?
Please check that the mach64.o in the kernel, the mach64_dri.so and the
ati_{drv,misc}.o files in your system were indeed updated by install.sh
script. (They path should popup if you run locate with their name).
OK. I will do and report.
Putting the check will take a little more than that (I have a paper
submission deadline in 1 June and I'm barely starting to do the research I
proposed to do in that paper, so I'm a great deal of pressure to get
Best luck with this.
results ASAP), but I can put the DMA by default so that the interested
ones can try. In the worst case, they can always use the
mach64-0-0-3-branch.
For me it's OK. I'm just afraid I'm not the only tester in town:)
PS: Don't remove the working mach64-0-0-3 snapshot that you may have, as
they will eventually get deleted from the DRI website.
Thanks for warning. BTW, probably it would make sense to move them to
separate directory - so people would know where to look more-less
stable:) drivers... Also, even after purging, the latest 0-0-3
snapshot would be nice to leave on FTP. Just in case... 1.5M is not very
large volume...
Cheers,

Hi I cleaned up all modules and run 0-0-4 from clean state - still same lockup on X termination. Actully, I get the lockup not in termination but in attempts to switch to any textual console.:( The reason is that I've changed the dripkg/install scripts sometime, and I Could you please give me a tip - which lines exactly you changed last days...
