Description ugenn 2006-01-02 22:36:43 UTC

I am experiencing the following with xorg7 with mesalib 6.4.1:

a) glthreads, glxheads freezes server when run (although mouse cursor movable), 

b) glxcontexts segfaults. both problems happen only in direct rendering mode, so i 
suppose it's a dri/drm issue.

I don't get any (EE) or (WW) messages in Xorg.log

Hardware:
x86
SiS 630 (SiS 300 chipset)

Software (all stable releases)
Linux 2.6.12.6
libdrm-2.0.0
Xorg7.0
MesaLib 6.4.1 (I'm using the prebuilt sis_dri.so binary from
http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/sis-20051220-linux.i386.tar.bz2)
gcc 3.4.5
glibc 2.3.6

Do you still experience this issue with newer drivers ?
Please check the status of your issue.

The sis driver was deleted over seven years ago.
