We (Red Hat) should really try to resolve this before next release. This bug is believed to be fixed in our next build. If a build of 2.4.2-0.1.18 or later does not fix it (when it becomes available), please reopen this bug. The error messages from drm:r128 are still present in kernel-2.4.2-0.1.19.i686 from recent rawhide. This is MS-6195 with Athlon 750 MHz and ATI All-in-WOnder 128 PRO. In addition, the fix to the bug 25920 which is in 2.4.2ac is also omitted. Not sure if they depend on each other. Everyone that can has r128 cards that has tested this problem out says that r128 DRI now works and does not lock up. Please make absolutely sure that you are running the newest kernel, and the newest XFree86-4.0.2 RPM's from my personal ftp space: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/xfree86 If it still does not work, it almost certainly has to be a different issue specific to your setup I would think as it is completley unreproduceable. Please update both bugs when you've tested it out. Created attachment 12169 [details]
dmesg output
These messages do not lock Xfree86. Everything (but 3d-acceleration) seems to be working. This only occurs with Wolverine and more recent kernels. Bug 25920 contain related Xfree86 log and config files. On shutting-down I see some other errors from DRM.. On halt from Gnome login window or logout from KDE, I sometimes get the message:
[drm:drm_release] *ERROR* process 759 dead, freeing lock for context 1
^^^^^ ^^^
pid of X 2,3,4,etc
Yes, X restarts automatically each time.
Aparently this bug shows up on Athlon systems with newer Rage 128 chips. I found an independent confirmation on dri bugzilla: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100387&aid=231658&group_id=387 Latest kernels from Rawhide should have a fix for this. The real fix is to reduce color depth from 24 bpp (anaconda and Xconfigurator's "best" offering) to 16 bpp. DRI doesn't work at 24 bpp on my Rage 128 PF. The bug "[drm:r128_do_wait_for_fifo] should be fixed in the latest XFree86-4.0.3-3 or -4 in rawhide. You need to have Mesa 3.4-13 as well. If you're not using these, and the latest kernel, please upgrade. I'll leave it up to Dr. Mike wether or not to close the bug. Seems like there is more than one issue in this report now, so I would recommend filling multiple reports. 1280 x 1024 x 24bpp - i see the error messages. 1024 x 768 x 24bpp - i see the error messages. 1280 x 1024 x 16bpp - no more error messages. Go figure... I guess it has something to do with DRI problems at 24bpp. 24 <-> 32 bpp conversions? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 26999 *** |
