Re: Re: S3 driver bug

2004-04-10 Thread Maarten Deprez
I am using XFree86 4.4 (OK, it's Xorg 6.7.0); nothing seems to have changed since 4.3,
i should try that version. Could it be something in xaa? The nv driver also doesn't 
work
well for me (that was better with 4.3), it locks my system up after a while.

What version of XFree86 are you using ?

S3 driver bug

2004-04-09 Thread root
I think there's a bug in the acceleration code of the s3 driver. When scrolling (with 
acceleration enabled), only parts of the screen that become newly visible really get 
visible, the screen doesn't scroll up. XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy option solves it.

For your information:
kernel: linux-2.5.6
lspci reports:
00:12.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86c768/765 [Trio32/64/64V+] (rev 53) 
(prog-if 00 [VGA])
Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- 
SERR- FastB2B-
Status: Cap- 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium TAbort- TAbort- 
MAbort- SERR- PERR-
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11
Region 0: Memory at dc00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64M]
Expansion ROM at dbff [disabled] [size=64K]

hm, kernel in linux-2.6.5, but i am piping this text into 'mail', can't undo...

Is there anyone who knows how to solve this?

Take a look at s3_accel.c and see if there is a problem with it's
ScreentoScreenCopy implementation.  you might also want to compare it
to the 3.3.x driver to see if it did anything differently.
