Description Alexander Farley 2002-03-08 16:14:11 UTC

Description of Problem: Occasionally the desktop will turn red/magenta.  It
would best be described as a loss of blue. Though no error message is ever
reported.  This only happens once in a while (once every other day?) and does
not crash the Xserver (glint).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
XFree86-4.2.0-32

How Reproducible:
It's cause is not immediately apparent, though it has not gone away since
XFree86-4.2.0-32 was installed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:


Expected Results:


Additional Information: The XFree86-4.2.0-32 package was installed alone (i.e.
no other new rpm's were installed between the time that XFree86-4.2.0-32 was
installed and the problem was first witnessed).  I have a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4, 768
Mb RAM, 500 Mb Swap space, 3DLabs GVX1 Pro with 64 Mb SDRAM (chips R4 and
gamma2), Dell/Sony Ultrascan P991, kernel 2.4.17-0.18, XFree86-4.2.0-32 using
the glint Xserver.

Comment 1 Mike A. Harris 2002-03-11 05:48:00 UTC

We have not ever released a package version 4.2.0-32

Comment 2 Alexander Farley 2002-03-11 14:14:33 UTC

I appologize it is XFree86-4.2.0-6.32.

Comment 3 Alan Hourihane 2002-03-13 08:42:42 UTC

It's a known problem with some Permedia3/R3/R4 boards.

We have a fix and it's going through some tests.

We should be able to release a patch soon.

Comment 4 Mike A. Harris 2002-05-21 05:57:26 UTC

alan, any word on the patch mentioned above?  If it is safe to apply
to 4.2.0, I'd like to make test rpm's available.

Thanks

Comment 5 Alan Hourihane 2002-05-21 08:07:57 UTC

Yes, I think we have it now.

I'll send a patch to you Mike.

Comment 6 Mike A. Harris 2002-08-16 11:29:00 UTC

Does this problem still occur with the current Red Hat Linux beta
release Limbo 2, or with rawhide XFree86?

I have updated this driver to the CVS version.

Comment 7 Mike A. Harris 2002-08-17 09:01:01 UTC

Believed to be fixed in rawhide, please verify.

Setting status to MODIFIED

Comment 8 Alexander Farley 2002-08-19 15:14:41 UTC

I will try the glint driver today (8/19/2002).

Comment 9 Alexander Farley 2003-06-02 15:52:52 UTC

I did not see this problem in XFree86-4.3.0-xx.
