Re:[Dri-users] ATi driver woes..

[John C. <jco...@au...>]

I'm going to chime in on this as well, I've been chasing my tail on this
same problem for a week now.  I thought it might be a hardware conflict
of some sort and have been troubleshooting it as such, but now I'm not
so sure.  I have the same symptoms as crossbones, I've tried the 2.2.18
and 2.4.0 kernels and XFree86 4.0.1 and 4.0.2.  All GL apps lock up my
hardware after 4 or 5 seconds of use.  If I'm paying close attention and
can get to the Magic SysRq within 1 second of the lockup I can drop out
of X, but there are NO error messages in the X logs or system logs. No
kernel panic, nada.

System:
K6-2 400
ATI Rage 128 RF (rev 0)
Epox EP-MVP3C (VIA MVP3/ VT82C598 PCI bridge)
224 meg ram
On board UDMA 33
On board USB turned on
SB AWE 32
2 Linksys (tulip) PCI 10/100 ethernet
Mandrake 7.2

I pulled my WinTV card out of PCI slot 1 thinking it might be the
culprit, but no luck.  If anyone wants to suggest a stratagy for hunting
this bugger down and killing it, I'm game.

Let me know what what you need.
