Hi, (2nd try, posted to xpert at xfree86.org and dri-users at lists.sourceforge.net)
Running an IBM ThinkPad A30P with an ATI Radeon Mobility M6 (32MB) for several months now. Current setup : - RHL 7.3 with updates - XFree86 CVS 20020829 - DRI CVS 20020830 There seem to be several issues with XFree86 and DRI wrt. the ATI M6 : - XFree86 related : ----- * starting X, or switching from X to a VC, either yields the LCD panel blank, or results in severe flashing and/or tearing of the display. Fortunately, this can easily be cured by switching the panel off and on again by means of the keyboard hotkeys (Fn-F3) ; - DRI related : ----- / Using stock RHL 7.3 XFree86 4.2.0 : * with DRI enabled (from stock DRI up to the latest CVS), there is are severe screen artefacts when running VMware (http://www.vmware.com) in full screen mode ; VMware's technical support people (of whom I have no reason to believe they are technically impaired, rather to the contrary) say they adhere to (DGA2 ?) standards. This screen corruption is mitigated by moving the mouse pointer or scrolling windows contents ; with DRI disabled, no corruption occurs. On request, I can supply a screenshot illustrating this behaviour. * glxgears performance is limited to approx. 500 fps ; this seems rather below par to me, wrt. to benchmarks of equivalent Radeon desktop models (700-1000 fps). / Using Xree86 20020829 : * same screen corruption as with stock XFree 4.2 ; * with the DRI nightly binary driver packages, when running glxinfo, glxgears, ... I get a message about TCL being disabled, after which a segmentation fault occurs. All pointers to libGL.so seem correct ; * with a freshly compiled DRI CVS20020830, I can run glxinfo (please find it below, LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose), but glxgears opens a window with some (perhaps not so) random garbage, and locks the computer hard (no Alt-SysRq). Any pointers to a solution for either one of these problems would be highly appreciated. I've included logs of : * glxinfo * xdpyinfo Kind regards, Didier glxinfo ------- libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 4.0.1 radeon (screen 0) libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/radeon_dri.so libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 4.0.1 radeon (screen 0) drmOpenByBusid: busid is PCI:1:0:0 drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 4, (OK) drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 4 drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports PCI:1:0:0 disabling TCL support radeonUpdatePageFlipping allow 0 current 0 name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes server glx vendor string: SGI server glx version string: 1.2 server glx extensions: GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context client glx vendor string: SGI client glx version string: 1.2 client glx extensions: GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context GLX extensions: GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc.
