Looks as if BLFS-6.5 is going to stick with Mesa-7.6, so I'll attach my version (the last hunk of upstream's change deletes an invocation of radeonEmitState in radeon_ioctl.c which isn't present in 7.6.1) - tested with 7.6.1, applies to 7.6 but I haven't looked at or tested 7.6. Makes me think nobody else here uses radeon! At a minimum, this fixes a lockup in glxgears. I've had another lockup, probably in xscreensaver, but it's too soon to tell if that is also fixed, or if that is a symptom of a different problem. If anyone else *is* using a radeon, it would be nice to know if this helps - personally, I think BLFS-6.5 should be using Mesa-7.6.1 (rather than 7.6) plus this fix, but since I don't have an LFS-6.5 system I'm not going to press the point. ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
