Because I need to get Croquet working. And because it crashes after 3 seconds on 6.2.1, and because it doesn't work at all with the CVS sources... the CVS sources can't even do ppracer (a tuxracer derivative) right, I decided to ignore the fact that I just invested $40 in a video card with a supposedly stable driver and tried to get my Mach64 working...
I switched my manual init script to load the Mach64 driver... (because the automated init scripts are an impenatrable mess I've resorted to manually running a startup script every time I fire the machine up...) Okay, I then fire up croquet on the mach64 -- it hard locks. I try the Nintendo 64 emulator that i've spent far too much time hacking on. -- It hard locks... I log into the machine via a serial port and start TOP then start pp-racer. -- Guess what, it hard-locks. It is totally unresponsive on both monitors, from the keyboard and mouse. It also stops servicing Top on the serial port and is totally nonresponsive. I know the Mach64 driver has never really stabilized... but I remember distinctly getting a good 6fps out of the thing on a previous version of the DRI source... (software only is 1.5fps..) I don't know what's going on here but I really need a bunch of stuff to start working.... -- Friends don't let friends use GCC 3.4.4 GCC 3.3.6 produces code that's twice as fast on x86!
