Hi everybody,
I have a severe problem with X since updating to 4.0.x. If I have the dri
module loaded, X crashes when the physical resolution is changed, e.g. if I
press CTRL-ALT-KP+ or run any DGA application which changes it. I have tried
several versions from 4.0.1 to last week's CVS from sourceforge. I browsed
everything I could find but couldn't find any explanation. I have a Voodoo3
3000, Linux 2.4.4. The only thing that might be non-mainstream is that I
typically run X at 1600x1200.
If I disable dri by not loading the module this does not happen. To make this
clear: it crashes even if nothing 3Dish is or has been running.
More problems: with dri loaded, swithing to the textconsole doesn't work
anymore, the resolution changes but the card stays in graphics mode. I can
switch back to X though.
Anonther thing, not dri related: hardware accelerated overlays (Xv) only
work up to 1024x768, above I get either colored lines (at 1:1 magnification)
or a faulty image: half of it is mirrored and interlaced with the other half
of the window. This looks really strange. Additionally, I get moving patterns
on top of that, even if playback is paused. Maybe the RAM timing is wrong?
I can't solve this on my own, I don't even know where to start. What puzzles
me most is that nobody else seems to have this problem; I have it for a few
months now.
Thank you for your time and
cu arne
