Summary: DRI support on video card damaged
Product: DRI
Version: XOrg CVS
Platform: x86 (IA32)
OS/Version: Linux (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: General
AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My video card (ati radeon mobility 9700) is unable to use DRI altough it worked
before. That happened just after some toying with compiz-fusion under Fedora 8.
To make that clear, I had perfect 3D support (DRI, 3D, compiz, ...) on Ubuntu
and Fedora 8 but now it's gone. I already started two independent LiveCDs
(again Fedora and Ubuntu), they have the same symptoms (Both where ok before,
from the first I installed successfully my current Fedora installation, the
second one is half a year old and worked perfect also). When starting Xorg it
crashes 10 to 40 seconds after GDM started (sometimes while in GDM, sometimes
on GNOME desktop).
Using <Option "DRI" "off"> everything works just fine. I believe that somehow
my video card bios was damaged (I have no explanation for the LiveCD crashes).
A more in-depth explanation with Xorg.0.log and stuff (which I don't want to
copy-paste) can be found here:

The question is in how far the video card can be affected by
drivers/compiz/mesa
and what tools are available to check that.
Maybe I should add that playing 3D games with Windows XP (on the same machine)
works perfectly well, so the card itself is not necessarily damaged.
