Hi, I am working with an ATI Radeon 7200 QD (R100) on a Pentium 4 machine with Intel AGP chipset. The card driver is 6.13 (latest snapshot from April 30).
To savely exclude other side effects I did the following: Recompile mesa library 7.9 devel and libdrm 2.4.20 from snapshot of April 30. What is the symptom? Via config manager of Gnome 2.30 I make metacity a composite manager for a reduced amount of 3D effects. What happens with the ATI driver (NOT with the self-built nouveau driver running with my Nvidia cards - this one works fantastic!) is the following: If I go to the Linux Kernel archives via iceweasel 3.59 and push the right mouse button over some "View Patch" entry I get a window throwing shadows, as intended. BUT: The window does not contain any text! I wonder if the 6.13 driver can deal with the fact that the card only has 32 MB RAM. But this is wild guessing, as I do not have any idea. Maybe this hint / symptom is helpful for the developers. When publishing driver 6.13 you were promising a driver being able of 3D and 2D effects plus KMS. Except the 3D effects everything is working fine. When will you finally fulfil that promise? Looking forward to a fully functional driver... Cheers Uwe P. S.: I don't know if that matters at all: The xserver version is 1.7.6.901 (= 1.7.7 rc1). _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
