Try adding Option "noaccel" to your X configuration. DOes that fix it? Thanks! Now the X doesnt hang up, but the scrolling is sloooow. Should I downgrade to XFree 3.x? If so, are there packages for RH 7.1? Xconfigurator --preferxf3 will use XFree86 3.3.6 in 7.1 You need to make sure you have the 3.3.6 server package installed for your card from the 7.1 CDROM, etc.. first though. Also, just a side note, your bug report has a lot of extra space in it that makes it hard to read. Sorry for the spaces. I have resolved my problem with the XFree 4.1 packages available on the RawHide. In the README of this release it says you should add this lines to the /etc/X11/XFree86-4: Option "XaaNoScanlineImageWriteRect" Option "XaaNoScanlineCPUToScreenColorExpandFill" Ok, can you please attach the output of "lspci -v" and also "lspci -vn" to the report so I can fix this so it works by default? Thanks Created attachment 29954 [details]

Dump of lspci -vn
Options added to default hardware configuration tables. Thanks. I am removing these options from the hardware database for 2 purposes: 1) To test and see if the bugs are fixed 2) To implement an alternate more robust solution if it is not fixed yet, by either fixing it, getting someone to fix it, or disabling the code directly in the driver source. This way nobody can enable the broken code, and upgrades also work from distro to distro without relying on whatever a user has in their config file before upgrade. Please test the current CVS XFree86 4.2.99.2 driver if at all possible, and remove or comment out all swcursor options, and "XaaNoxxxxxx" options as well as noaccel et al. If a problem occurs, please open a new bug report against rawhide, and perhaps point out this bug as reference also. Just attempting to clean up some of the prior dirty bandaids with cleaner bandaids. Thanks |
