Hello all, On a PIII450 whith an ATI Radeon Ve 64M SDR, Xfree 4.2 with hardware acceleration enabled, running some 3d apps, (amongst which bzflag, glxgears, xlockmore -mode gears) locks up the machine : no ctrl alt backspace to get outta X, only hard reboot. Before actually locking, some info is sent to kernel error log, example : Aug 19 15:23:16 localhost kernel: [drm: radeon_freelist_get] *ERROR* returning NULL! Aug 19 15:23:16 localhost kernel: [drm: radeon_lock_take] *ERROR* 3 holds heavyweight lock Some other apps, TuxRacer and Armagetron work fine though. This problem is not specific to beta3, was also there in 8.2, 8.1 was doing fine. I understand that this problem might not be Mandrake specific, but related to linux kernel, DRI, and XFree, but I haven't checked other distros on this machine so I can't tell. Is anyone aware of this problem, are there any fixes to try ? I'll be happy to provide more info if requested.
