Re: [Dri-users] Re: [Dri-devel] heretic2 freeze with g450

[Praedor T. <pr...@us...>]

I already upgraded heretic2 (1.06b).  The freezes remain.  Actually, I just 
found that they are total system lockups.

I am playing heretic2 with OpenGL rendering and DRI v0.7, XFree86-4.0.3 on a 
Mandrake 8.0 system, ATI Radeon 32MB DDR.  The game freezes up as soon as I 
enter a particular room right now (I entered it earlier today and was able to 
fight and die - but then it froze).  The keyboard becomes unresponsive and 
the mouse is useless.  I tried to ssh into my box and cannot.  I cannot ping 
it either.  The freeze takes out the entire system.  The only option I have 
is to hard reboot.

I cannot find any useful entries in any log file thus far.
