Hmm, I don't actually think this is a bug, but rather a leftover debug message in the new memory manager code. Can you verify that, apart from this message, everything seems normal and that you have the following message: [drm] Initialized via 2.10.0 20060528 on minor 0: from the command dmesg | grep drm /Thomas alexander@blatt ~/Desktop $ dmesg | grep drm [drm] Initialized drm 1.0.1 20051102 [drm] Initialized via 2.10.0 20060528 on minor 0: [drm:via_mem_alloc] *ERROR* Attempt to allocate from uninitialized memory manager. [drm:via_mem_alloc] *ERROR* Video memory allocation failed [drm:via_mem_alloc] *ERROR* Video memory allocation failed But I *cannot* confirm, that everything seems normal. Since I started using Google Earth, I experience lock ups (after using GE; when I don't use GE, everything's fine). And since I started using GE, I see those video mem alloc error messages. The latest VIA DRM have the messages removed. It seems like GE is not working well with a bunch of DRI drivers, so if it's not a GE bug, a new bug should probably be opened. I'm closing this bug. If you have problems with other applications than GE, please reopen. /Thomas Hi, I'm unable to use XvMC with xine using Gentoo's x11-drm-20060608, on an VIA EPIA with CN400-Chipset. I get the same error message as Alexander: [drm:via_mem_alloc] *ERROR* Video memory allocation failed in dmesg, and xine is telling me: ViaXvMC: Could not allocate timestamp blit area I wouldn't have thought its drm's fault, but when using Gentoo's previous drm (x11-drm-20051223), XvMC works fine and none of the error messages show up. Mario Hi! As mentioned previously this problem is fixed in latest DRM. You need to wait for gentoo to upgrade or use CVS. /Thomas |

I installed the new Google Earth Beta 4 for Linux on my Gentoo Linux system, and after using GoogleEarth for some time, I get a lot of the following messages in my debug syslog: Jun 15 13:39:49 blatt [drm:via_mem_alloc] *ERROR* Video memory allocation failed I'm using a 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter (rev 02) on a notebook with a Celeron CPU.
