Hey all, There are some problems I get with X 4.2.99.4, prolly bugs.
1. My X setup is unstable when using 3D. with 4.2.1 I could play UT for some time and then it freezed. With 4.2.99.4 I get freezes right at the beginning of UT. What is freeze? Display freezes, game gets locked. Sys works fine (accessible remotely), until I kill -9 X or UT. If (with freezed screen) I tried mplayer -vo vesa, it was able to display a movie, but freezed system when exiting. I can still mess around with alt-sysrq-foo things (even after freeze). If i did alt-sysrq-k with this freeze, whole sys gets stopped (and soundcard repeats its buffer). Sometimes when I played UT, whole PCI stuff stopped (sblive, NICs) and rest (GPU, keyb, rs232-inet) kept working for about 2-3 minutes (and then 100% freeze). 2. XVideo looks bad with 100% scale When I play a movie with mplayer -vo xv, not fullscreen, image looks like badly scaled (disorted slant lines etc). But window size is equal to movie size. Doesn't happen with another video card and with X 4.2.1. Unfortunately I can't take a screenshot ;). 3. XFS breaks Type1 fonts. With 4.2.1: http://www.filip.eu.org/xdm.jpg With 4.2.99.4: http://www.filip.eu.org/xdmb.jpg Note that using direct FontPath to font files in XF86Config solves the problem (in 4.2.99.4). Info about HW/SW is here: http://www.filip.eu.org/xprob (not using DRI atm) bye, Filip Zyzniewski PS. I know that you love such things, but: with windows it works AFAIK. So if HW has bugs, they can be ommited :). _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
