Dear list and Marc La France,
You might remember a while back that several Radeon and R128 boards suffered
from a server crash at VT switch time. This was due to the fact that these
cards (for some or other reason) disable bus mastering when switching to VT.
The bug was fixed by adding a call to xf86EnablePciBusMaster() in
{RADEON,R128}EnterVT(). This change was subsequently committed to both DRI
and XFree86 main trees.
I noticed the other day that this change has disappeared again with the
following CVS log message:
revision 1.65
date: 2002/10/08 22:14:05; author: tsi; state: Exp; lines: +1 -8
367. When enabling PCI adapters, also enable their bus mastering capability;
Consequently, deprecate xf86EnablePciBusMaster() (Marc La France).
This would mean that the bug is back and people will again have the stupid
VT switch lockup. What would be the New and Improved Way(tm) way of
explicitly re-enabling bus-mastering at RADEONEnterVT() time since
xf86EnablePciBusMaster() has been deprecated?
Thanks,
Charl
