Hello, I had some free time. So I've tried my FireGL X1 adapter on x86 hardware, no problem. I don't know if it can provide valuable information, but I've also tried an AGP Radeon 7500 graphics adapter in my ia64 system. Without a xorg.conf file, AGP rate was automatically set at 4x, w/ SBA and w/o FW. XAA acceleration was enabled by default. I did not experience any problem with tiny OpenGL applications, like glxgears (~380 fps in average). As a test, I ran quake2 : textures on the walls and the floor were quickly corrupted, as if a translucent rainbow color texture was blended with the wall/floor texture. And within seconds, screen refresh was frozen, as if the application locked the system hard. But it was not: top reveals no abusive CPU usage, quake2 process was killed and X restarted without a problem. I've then tried EXA acceleration. I didn't succeed in reproducing the problem again since then, but I've experienced two GPU lockups when I was simply moving a terminal window in the GNOME desktop environment (reducing AGP rate didn't help). Running glxgears gave ~390 fps in average. Under quake2, the floor and wall textures were OK. But the screen freezes as with XAA acceleration. As a last attempt, I've also tried an AGP Radeon 9600 Pro graphics adapter. My ia64 system didn't POST at all.
