Hello, I see lockups with the r200 driver too (I'm testing the projected texture fix - bug #1461), but the strange thing is, that the r200 locks up only when I restart X without a reboot. The first X session works like a charm (I'm testing with Descent3), the second crashes after some seconds... Kernel 2.6.9, radeon.ko from DRM CVS, r200 dri module from Mesa CVS, X.org CVS, all checked out on 20041021 - the system is an up-to-date Debian Sid.

A little more precise system specs, please. OK, below ;-) The problem *was* : random lockups / freezes when playing UT (original one) Do you mean the old (first) one (No 2k3/2k4)? I (we) havent't tested that for ages. or Q3A (latest patch) ; 1.32b-3 (2.10.2003)? I'll have to update to 1.32b-3, all former test were on 1.32b.

Re: R200, DRI : lockup with CVS and UT (original), FireGL 8800
As of today, after installing yesterday's binary snapshot from fd.o instead of CVS, I'm happy to report the bug is gone. Actually, I thought I had updated everything that needed to be, but I had forgotten to copy the 2D (ati_drv.o, radeon.o) driver when I updated the dri (r200_dri.so) driver. That became apparent when I got a desktop lock, followed an hour later by a xscreensaver (2D, no GL) lock. So the problem was 2D and not 3D. Using the snapshots' excellent install.sh script is a breeze, btw. Thanks a lot, sorry for the false bug report.

R200, DRI : lockup with CVS and UT (original), FireGL 8800
Hello, After realizing that the R200 driver bundled with xorg 6.8 wasn't stable, I installed the CVS of DRI (as of 2 hours ago). The problem *was* : random lockups / freezes when playing UT (original one) or Q3A (latest patch) ; those lockups happen within 30 seconds of starting any of these games. Using driconf and : * disabling entirely TCL (software) * setting frame throttling to Usleeps * VSync to OFF * Number of texture units to 2 actually helps alleviate the problem (I get lockups every 10 minutes or so).
