   OpenGL appears to work almost entirely flawlessly. However, whenever I
 run
   Blender, and click the render button, blender crashes with this error
 message:

   This crash happens if I've loaded a scene and click render, if I've
 created a
   scene and click render, or if I do nothing, and just click render.
   
   The searching I've done online seems to point to this being an issue in
 XFree86,
   as opposed to the GATOS drivers, so is being reported here.
   
   Most other things seem to be working well (quake2, gltron, etc). Any
 feedback on
   this would be most appreciated.  
  
  This is reported as being fixed in current DRI cvs.
 
 I wonder if the bug submitter reads this list though - people will have
 to get used to following up to bugs in bugzilla.
 
 Unless someone beats me to it, I'll follow up to this bug with a patch
 for him to try and other information.

As a blender user who ran into this bug myself (and nearly overlooked this
message) the patch would be greatly appreciated.  Is this bug posted on
bugs.xfree.org, or a DRI specific bugzilla?  I ask because several keyword
searches didn't turn anything up (I assume I'm chosing bad keywords to search on).

tia,

Jean.

Re: [XFree86] X11 crashing system with ATI Radeon 7500 QW...

 It (my system) hangs whenever I try to logout with the dm. This is the reason

 That aspect of the problem disappeared this morning when I updated to the
 most 
 recent CVS snapshot, however logout is still causing difficulties.

Check to see if your DM is restarting the x server on each logout, or continuing
to use the same X session.  The latter has become the default, which caused
exactly what you are describing (screen, i/o, sometimes complete system hang on
logout) with the Number 9 Revolution cards I was using, as well as some Fujitsu
tablets, none of which were using DRI/DRM.

The solution was to configure it to kill and create a new X session on each logout.

for XDM:
xdm-config.kcco:DisplayManager*terminateServer: true

for GDM:
AlwaysRestartServer=true

I don't use KDM, but I'm sure something similiar exists for it as well.

This fixed the problems I was having with the Number 9 cards, and with some
Fujitsu tablets, running X 4.0 - 4.2.1 (I have not yet had occasion to try
4.2.99.4 or later on any of those devices), so it may be worth a try.

Good luck,

Jean.

Re: [XFree86] nVidia GeForce + Apple 23 High Definition Cinema Display

 I'm making use out of time while my piece-of-crap nvidia card (no offence to
 nVidia, I just have a POS card) cools down.  The fan stopped spinning and it
 overheated and crashed my box.  Anyway have a look at some of the pics on
 the
 page and I'll try to get it updated as soon as I can get it functional under
 unix.  I'm going to try to get it to work in:
 
 *) Redhat Linux 8.0 w/ nVidia binary drivers  stock XFree86
 *) NetBSD 1.6-STABLE (-rnetbsd-1-6 branch as of last week) with
XFree86-current native 'nv' driver (-rHEAD branch as of last night)

I was using an nvidia ti4600 Gainward card to drive my 24 Samsung monitor at
1920x1200, using the nvidia binary drivers (I wanted dvi out and was running x
4.2.1), so it can be done.  However, with those drivers, the card was always a
bit unstable (despite being a high end card, and despite trying to disable AGP,
use agpgart, and use nvidia's agp support ... nothing made it more stable). 
Once I put the second AMD CPU in the machine the card became so unstable it was
unusable, so I removed it.

I am sour on nvidia at the moment and am considering an ATI card instead. 
However, here are the modelines I used (use at your own risk, not responsible if
it blows up your computer, your house, or half of your city, blah blah blah). 
It worked to drive my Samsung at 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz

# 1920x1200 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 74.52 kHz; pclk: 193.16 MHz

Modeline 1920x1200_60.00  193.16  1920 2048 2256 2592  1200 1201 1204 1242  -H
Sync +Vsync

Hope this helps,

Jean.
