as expected, unfortunately ... This is a known problem in/with the ati drivers, currently. That's why I called support for the misc. ati chipsets "unstable", see the long thread. The following cards/chipsets do work with what you have downloaded, but only with above instabilities: PGX8 (card or onboard in earlier U5/U10) PGX24 (onboard in later U5/U10) PGX64 (card or onboard in SB100/SB150) XVR-100 The ati drivers currently start up, but can not be killed / terminated in whatever way. Misc. functions to terminate and to release resources make something wrong. It's difficult to find out which function causes that trouble, as the whole host is completely dead afterwards (no Stop+A, nothing, no error messages in syslog, nor in Xorg's log, no core dump, no crash dump, dbx doesn't catch it either, just nothing). That crap is exclusive to the ati code (The other boards: Creator, Creator3D etc. [FFB1, FFB2, FFB2+], Elite3D [AFB] and PGX32/Raptor8p all do _not_ have this problem, can be considered as being quite "stable") I'm a bit in a vacuum currently. I will resume my Xorg related work asap (hopefully 2nd half of next week). -- Martin Bochnig This message posted from opensolaris.org
