[Dri-devel] MGA G400 report

[<sy...@sc...>]

I've done some testing with my G400 and I have some good new and some bad
news.

The good news is that dualhead is working. Well at least TV output. Also
3D is quite stable. Previosly running two atlantis screensavers resulted
in nasty lock up, Now they run just fine.

To the bad news...

Option "PciRetry" is broken. X comes up totally garbled and if I kill it
right there I can still reboot, but openening a menu in twm resulted in a
lockup.

Q3A can lock the card, here's what I did:

Resolution 1600x1200 depth 24. I didn't try other resolutions/depths. twm 
& 1 xterm running. I ran Q3 in a window (w/ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) and
repeatedly hit the console key and fiddled with my mouse :) Boom! I could
still kill the Xserver with sysrq-k and reboot normally. Restarting the X
server right after killing it resulted in a hard lockup. The message "Hit
bound texture in upload" was repeated in the log.

My system:
AMD Duron 600 MHz
VIA KT133 chipset
128 MB PC133 SDRAM
MGA G400 32 MB DH (rev 04)
AGP 2x, aperture 64 MB


One odd thing I noticed when starting X:

(II) MGA(0): Memory manager initialized to (0,0) (1600,2399)
(II) MGA(0): Largest offscreen area available: 1600 x 1199

Are these values correct?
