From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: Whenever an OpenGL program runs, the screen turns completely black. The system isn't crashed, per se; if you can kill the OpenGL program the screen returns to normal. The system has an ATI Radeon 9200SE with a Samsung Syncmaster 213T on the DVI port. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.5-1.358, xorg-x11-6.7.0-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run any OpenGL program, e.g. keuphoria.kss. 2. 3. Additional info:
I get a similar problem; think mine is DRI related. The screen goes glack for glxgears, but yet prints out the number of FPS to console still... My card is different (SiS 630), but from what you've said above the problem sounds the same. Kernel Version: 2.6.6-1.406 (i686) Xorg Version: xorg-x11-6.7.0-3
Mine locks up after running a GL app for about 20 seconds. FC2: Linux version 2.6.6-1.435 (bhcompile@tweety.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.3.3 20040412 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-7)) #1 Mon Jun 14 09:09:07 EDT 2004 Video card: Sapphire Radeon 9200se 256MB with TV Out (no DVI)
