Hi!
Several weeks ago I reported that on "initialization of screen" (q3, epsxe),
my machine freezes with about 10% probability. I got no meaningful reply, so I
upgraded the machine from rh 7.1 to 7.2 (including gcc), kernel to 2.4.19-pre5
and it still happens.
New hints?

I put it AFTER the if, the load doesn't change (25 with dri, 50 without).
I also tried rewriting the R128PutImage so that every second call is returned
without doing anthing, this sank the X load dramatically as well, but I think
this was expected anyway.
Now gurus, show what you can :-)

h.
The code inside DMAXvGetImage will look like this:
drmDMA (blahblah); // allocate buffers
for (buffer = 0; buffer < buffer_size; buffer ++;) {
drmNewUberCoolCapturingFunction;
memcpy (shm segment for capturing + buffersize*buffer, drm buffer, buffersize);
}
drmFree (blahblah);
I don't think I need source-code to
games, if the manufacturer provides support. If a game crashes and I get
fragged, big deal. But if a driver crashes and the box freezes I'll be very
angry because all the stuff I run at that time gets killed.
Oh no now I've done it again. I should
d what new functions to add instead? Brings me back to what
I wrote a couple of weeks ago, there is no function in DRI that is able to
transfer data from the card to system memory and such a beast could really
come in handy when doing video capturing.

for developing the drivers the pace will slow down, but not

What developers can do is to recommend ATI cards to end-users, so there is
larger need for the drivers and larger chance someone would be willing to pay

developing capturing for radeon AIW and told me he wrote to dri-devel about
