Hi ! I'm new to this mailing list but maybe I can give some interesting input: I've an Athlon 800 (Asus mainboard) with ATI Xpert 2000 Pro running SuSE 8.1 (2.4.19 kernel). When I load glx and dri the system locks up at many conditions. (I didn't check until now glx OR dri, only both) Easiest way to show the lock up: Open YAST2 Software Installer and change about 2 or 3 times the width of one column. -> X locks up, only hard reset, nothing in Xfree86.0.log :(
If I do not load glx and dri and try the same (xterm with tail -f Xfree86.0.log in background) the system only pauses for about 2 seconds and then shows the following line in Xfree86.0.log: (EE) R128(0): FIFO timed out, resetting engine... Maybe it helps ... Otherwise: I would like to help solving this problem but I don't know anything about Xfree86 source code ... btw I need my Linux up and running for my job ;-) Martin Am Dienstag, 19.
