Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] VLdynamite locking up using ATI driver.

[<nig...@ju...>]

I was using 8.28.8

For further testing, I got another card with the older architecture, a
Radeon 9250, and tested on clean installs of both VLD 5.9.9 and VL SOHO
5.1.

With this one I saw no lockups, "ati" or "fglrx".

However, the reason for wanting hardware acceleration, Google Earth,
has problems. Using the open source "ati" driver, it runs, but with
corrupted display (ghosting of previous images and streaking). With
"fglrx" it will not run at all, doesn't get past the splash screen.
Other 3D apps like ppracer and scorched3d ran very well.

- On a side note, neither VLD nor SOHO would set up the new video card
using vasm > xwindow > xconf. It just quickly flashed and dropped back.
On fresh install both picked it up. Is there a way to totally reset the
hardware data or force a deeper probe?

Well, I uninstalled ATI driver 8.27.10 and installed 8.26.18 and the
end session hard lockup problem seems to be gone. I sort of figured
the problem started when I upgraded to 8.27.10. What driver version
have you tested nightflier?
