Hopefully one of the Radeon developers can reproduce this.
If the user could use gdb to get the values for ctx->Const.MaxTextureCoordUnits and ctx->Const.MaxTextureImageUnits that might be helpful.

Brian, I cannot reproduce this here (and I really doubt it can happen unless you mess with your driconf settings - maybe the original reporter should check those), but is this assertion even correct?

I agree with the assertions that
  MaxTextureUnits <= MaxTextureImageUnits
  MaxTextureUnits <= MaxTextureCoordUnits
because a fixed function texture unit requires both the set of coordinates and the image.

But I was under the impression that the whole point of the new MaxTextureImageUnits and MaxTextureCoordUnits was to decouple the two concepts which are no longer necessarily related in a programmable setting.

In the fixed-function paths we use ctx->Const.MaxTextureCoordUnits all over the place.  For fixed-function we have to have a texture image unit for each coord unit.

I guess we could replace most occurances of ctx->Const.MaxTextureCoordUnits with ctx->Const.MaxTextureUnits (and remove the assertion) but that'd be a bit of work.

Looking at the radeon code which sets these limits:

   ctx->Const.MaxTextureUnits = driQueryOptioni (&rmesa->radeon.optionCache,
						 "texture_units");
   ctx->Const.MaxTextureImageUnits = ctx->Const.MaxTextureUnits;
   ctx->Const.MaxTextureCoordUnits = ctx->Const.MaxTextureUnits;

I don't see how the assertion would be failing.

Can you try setting texture_units in your driconf and see what happens?

BTW, shouldn't the driconf value be clamped to some limit?

Good day, I'm the original reporter.

I don't have ~/.drirc, nor /etc/drirc. I didn't install driconf before I saw
it mentioned here.

An additional detail lost in fight: setting LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT to 1
makes things work. Not sure it it's relevant, though.

Here goes, anyway (in short: no useful data, perhaps):

Can you build Mesa 7.6 in debug mode and re-run?

Actually, r300_context.c does the following:

	ctx->Const.MaxTextureImageUnits =
	    driQueryOptioni(&r300->radeon.optionCache, "texture_image_units");
	ctx->Const.MaxTextureCoordUnits =
	    driQueryOptioni(&r300->radeon.optionCache, "texture_coord_units");
	ctx->Const.MaxTextureUnits = MIN2(ctx->Const.MaxTextureImageUnits,
		 ctx->Const.MaxTextureCoordUnits);

... so I can see how the assertion could fail depending on the driconf settings. However, both options are set to default to 8 in radeon_screen.c, so this is still very odd.

Reassigning to r300c.

The classic r300 driver has been abandoned long ago.
It was replaced by the Gallium driver r300g.

If you have issues with r300g please file a new bug report with component Drivers/Gallium/r300

Thanks.
