Phoebe 2nd beta is very old now (in terms of beta life). If you're not using the latest beta, completely updated to the latest rawhide packages, including the kernel (very important). For the record, I do not have any ATI Radeon Mobility hardware available for testing/debugging, so I am unable to test for problems personally on that specific hardware. I have pretty much all of ATI's standalone video hardware, and I can't trigger any GL screensaver lockups in testing with the latest packages. Please update to the latest beta, and rawhide packages first and see if the problems you've experienced are resolved now. If the problem persists, please attach your X server log and config file, and /var/log/messages from after a crash. Indicate which specific screensavers are causing the problem, and the exact detailed step by step instructions on how to reproduce, which may help to duplicate the problem locally on other hardware. Do the latest packages resolve this for you? I upgraded both XFree86 and the kernel to the packages in rawhide and that fixed both the 3D hardware acceleration and X crashing problems. The only other thing that I notice now is that, using KDE, when I activate some of the GL screen-savers (say for instance, atlantis, the one with the whales) there is serious flickering. This does not happen with any other GL applications that I tested, both in KDE and GNOME, or with the screen-savers themselves in GNOME. |
