Hi. I have a ATI Radeon 9000 Pro, on an AMD Athlon XP/KT333 VIA workstation. I have been experiencing lots of trouble those last years with Direct Rendering Interface, each time I use a program needing OpenGL. I found the solution a few days ago : on my LFS and Debian xorg.conf files, there was no mention of the option "AGPMode", which defaults it to 1. However, if the documentation mentions that raising this value can cause troubles, it doesn't mention that NOT RAISING IT can too ! I saw a message saying that with Radeon chipset, this option SHOULD be set to 4 or 8. And indeed, it solved ALL my freeze problems. Thought it could be worth mentioning. Sorry if this is a FAQ. \bye -- Nicolas FRANCOIS http://nicolas.francois.free.fr A TRUE Klingon programmer does NOT comment his code |
