Re: [Dri-users] Mandrake 9.0 Radeon 8500 X crash

[Christof A. <chr...@pa...>]

I think it has everything to do with the 3.2 version of gcc. The
produced binaries are binary incompatible with previous versions of gcc
(as far as I know). So the binary snapshots can't work (they are created
with gcc version 2.95 ?).

Most probably the new RedHat version (8.0) will have the same problem
(it has gcc 3.2 too) ...

So I propose that binary snapshots are created for platforms using gcc
3.2.

    I doubt this has anything to do with your build becasue I too have been having 
    this problem and I'm on a gentoo linux distro which I did everything myself 
    except bootstrap the system. That and mine is on a Radeon DDR 64 VIVO with 
    the radeon drivers.  It appears to try and load the drivers because the 
    screen flickers a few times before returning to the console. I too would like 
    any advice about how to get this working.
