[Dri-users] Via Device 1106:3108 - Unichrome Pro B

[T.P. R. <tpr...@ho...>]

I have two items. First, will someone bring back the binary snapshots 
for monolithic X? Weekly builds would be fine. Most distributions won't 
be using modular X until the fall of 2006. Second, many users of 
Unichrome Pro chipsets suffer from hard lockups with the current driver 
when running OpenGL applications. Textures seem to be involved with the 
problem as glxgears runs merrily without fault. Granted, the 2.6.16.x 
kernels don't seem too stable themselves with certain Via chipsets, 
especially those kernels greater than 2.6.16.16. Other than potential 
kernel problems, is the following bug which was identified last year 
closer to resolution? From the OpenChrome bug tracker, the blame seems 
to rest with the DRI. This problem is a major one which affects many 
users including me.
