Hello, just yesterday I had such a lockup of the xserver, too. It ocurred when I played with xmms and enabled 3 vis-plugins: G force, then OpenGL LAVA, then OpenGL Spectrum Analyzer. The Spectrum Analyzer overlapped the LAVA-Window, and a moment later the Xserver "was locked" (music continued playing!), mouse could be moved around, but "everything" else was frozen, for example: the merlin cpufire applet, which shows usage of CPU. I did ssh to the machine, tried to "init 3" for getting the Xserver to shutdown, but no luck: I had to killall -KILL X. After rmmod radeon and init 5: still frozen graphics. So i rebooted the machine. system: sis745, AthlonXP1700+, Radeon7500 (275/275MHz), SuSE 7.3, Kernel 2.4.19, XFree86 4.2.0, DRI-CVS-mesa-4-1-branch, 20021123 (morning) Last 3 or 4 times i did a make install of the DRI, I didnt restart the Xserver, because there were some apps open I didnt want to close. So I was using a radeon.o kernel-module which was one or two weeks old.
Maybe that lockup is another "variant" of the scissoring-bug, which was fixed earlier this year in the radeon-kernelmodule? best regards, Andreas ps: mesa 5.0 in the upcoming XFree86 4.3.0 would be nice! and mach64-3d-support, too. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
