[utah-glx-users] GLX crashes X (ATI)

[Andrew G. <a.g...@uc...>]

Please reply by personal email; I am not on the list.

While attempting to run the perf tools (e.g. osvis) from an SGI Origin
remotely, glx crashes my X server.

I have XFree86 3.3.6 installed from the XFree86-3.3.6-20 rpm on a RedHat
Linux 6.2 box. GLX is built from CVS sources grabbed on Oct 11 at 15:02
BST (GMT+1). Graphics hardware is an 8MB ATI Rage Pro (rev 92). My
glx.conf has mach64_dma = 2 (asynchronous DMA) as I have no agpgart
(unpatched penguin 2.2.17).

If I set nohw = 1 in glx.conf the aps crash out with  messages such as:

  Major opcode of failed request:  147 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  1 (X_GLXRender)
  Serial number of failed request:  1165
  Current serial number in output stream:  1166

And I see the following on the terminal I'm running X on:

Creating new client: 16!
Adding client as resource: 603979778!
### Creating new xsmesa context for sw...
Adding drawable 67108977 to glWindows list:
invalid data type to GLX_data_size: 0x1407!!
invalid data type to GLX_data_size: 0x1407!!
Bad length in CallLists (have 16, wanted 8)
type: 0x1407
destroying a client: 603979778!
destroying a buffer
destroying a context

Could someone suggest a cause and/or a way to tackle this problem?

It appears from the archives that this problem has been raised before
with a different driver
(http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/992/2000/8/0/4165553/),
but I saw no response to the questioner. Hopefully someone can point me
in the right direction!

Thanks in advance.
Andy
