Re: [Dri-users] Success with mga G400

[<moc...@n0...>]

   I upgraded to test-7 last week and actually managed to get some
action out of my G400. It still locked up a bit but it was, for the
first time, usable. Horray for the X DRI developers! 

   Today I upgraded DRI-CVS and recompiled. inserted to new mga
module and expected more doom. Well I can't seem to lock it up! Not
to say there are no problems... The first thing I tried was the
trusty sof change settings thing, guarantied to lock my machine up.
The screen went black as usual but much to my delight ctrl-alt-F1
dumped me into a console.

My almost working HW:
PentiumII
PC-100 SDRAM
BX MOBO
G400 16M
es1371 soundcard (I heard something nasty about the sblive + g400)

System:
Linux-2.4-test7
- MTRR
- APIC
- I2C
- DMA

I don't really know what to put here cause I doubt if this will help
anyone other than giving them the knowledge that reliability is
improving...
