The dmesg output

Hi!

When using glxgears on top of IceWM (CVS Head) on Mandriva Linux Cooker with:

* kernel 2.6.32-desktop-1mnb

* xorg-x11-7.5-1mdv2010.1

* x11-server-xorg-1.7.3-1mdv2010.1

Then after closing the window, X hangs and the keyboard becomes completely repsonsive. I have an ATI Radeon HD 2600 card (AGP) and I'm using it with DRI enabled. I'm attaching the dmesg output, and will soon attach the Xorg.0.log file (which seems OK) and my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

I also think that X hangs after I switch to the virtual console and back, but this is another bug.

Regards,

Likely an AGP problem.  Does changing the AGP mode or AGP aperture size in the bios help?  If not, does:
Option "BusType" "PCIE"
in the device section of your config help?

I didn't see an option for the AGP mode, and I increased the AGP aperture size to its maximum (256 KB (or is it MB) from 64 KB). It didn't help.

This does help. However, now I'm getting visual artefacts with the mouse cursor. However, now I can switch to the virtual console and back. I'll soon attach my new xorg.conf.

My new xorg.conf file.

This causes the cursors with the visual artefacts or missing pixels. I've tried with IceWM, KDE 4, XFCE, etc.

You'll need to also add:
Option "EXANoDownloadFromScreen"

Many thanks!

This indeed solved this problem, as well. Just for the record, one needs to add it to the "Device" section.

Now it seems like all my X-related woes are hopefully gone and I can happily use the radeon driver with partial 2-D/3-D acceleration, switching to a virtual console, etc. Now to fix the KDE problems.

Thanks again! ♥

should be fixed in git and kms.
