[XFree86] [blender 2.26cvs + XFree430] Total machinge lock
Hi, I sent this mail to two mailing lists since I dont know what is producing this behaviour and where the bug is burried... What happens ? I use a recent cvs checkout of Blender CVS (2.26++) together with the XFree 4.30 release. Furthermore I compiled the Linux 2.4.20 kernel with DRM/DRI module support for my ATI Radeon 7500 (built by Sapphire). After installing the kernel I compiled the drm-kernel module for Linux in the XFree430 source tree and overwrite the according module in /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/driver/char/drm/... Reboot. DRI/DRM is shown as working in the XFree logfile. Now...whhen using Blender with DispWin enabled (rendering shown in extra window) crashes Blender (this was reported before). A friendly hacker of the bf-blender mailing list sends me a workaround: I should export RADEON_NO_VTXFMT=1 right before starting blender. Now Blender could display its renderings in an extra window again. (wait...now it comes..!) BUT (and this is a very *BIG* BUT): When using PovAnim for Blender 2.26 (which do work right for me before this workaround) together with RADEON_NO_VTXFMT=1 the results are very heavy: As soon as I press ALT-P to start the script, my Linux box freezes hard at once -- I had to reboot. Removing RADEON_NO_VTXFMT=1 will make the script work but now blender crashes while trying to open an extra window. Sigh. Since I have no access to my box right after a freeze I cannot provide any logfile or something like that. If one have an idea how to provide more help to fix this nasty bug...let me know and I will try help more. Kind regards, (slightly frustrated) Meino ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
