[Dri-users] Wierd screen blinking with 2.4.0-test11, G400

[Jeffrey W. B. <jw...@ac...>]

Howdy,

I kept myself out on the edge of insanity today by upgrading my
slackware-current system to latest packages (glibc 2.2, binutils
2.10.0.33, gcc 2.95.2, etc.)  I also upgraded the kernel to
2.4.0-test11.  Then, I cvsupped and recompiled DRI.

The problem I have is that the X display blinks totally black every few
seconds.  This is immediately obvious when using the system: it starts
right away when X is started.  The problem occurs both with and without
direct rendering, with and without DGA, and also with XFree86 4.0.1
release.

The second problem is that X is probing my RAMDAC incorrectly.  It shows a
max pixel clock of 300 MHz, when in fact it is capable of 360 MHz.  
XFree86 4.0.1 probes this value correctly.

My hardware is MGA G400 MAX 32MB on a Via KX133 machine.  I anyone else
seeing these problems?  Everything was working fine after the glibc/gcc
upgrade, but then after the kernel upgrade/reboot everything went to hell.
