Description Elrond 2006-01-24 09:35:40 UTC 
Without disabling some accelaration, some apps (especial KOffice) can freeze the
X-Server, it goes to 100% CPU and does not react at all. Forcing me to reboot
the box.

I have an ELSA GLora-L/MX:
00:08.1 Non-VGA unclassified device: 3DLabs GLINT Delta (rev 01)
00:08.2 Non-VGA unclassified device: 3DLabs GLINT MX (rev 01)

The following options make X slower (noticeable!), but fix it:
        Option "XaaNoSolidFillRect" "yes"
        Option "XaaNoSolidFillTrap" "yes"

I haven't yet tested, if one of the two is enough to fix it too. (finding those
two using logarithmic search was enough work!)

The basic problem already existed in xfree86 4.3, which was my reason to upgrade
to xorg.

My Xorg.0.log does not have any really useful information, and the most
important part of my xorg.conf is:

Section "Device"
	Identifier      "ELSE GLoria-L/MX"
	Driver          "glint"
	BusID           "PCI:0:8:1"
	Option "XaaNoSolidFillRect" "yes"
	Option "XaaNoSolidFillTrap" "yes"
EndSection

Any improvements using a more current version of xorg? Also could you attach a
backtrace from gdb when X hangs?
Comment 2 Elrond 2006-05-15 07:07:24 UTC 
Newer versions are even worse, see #5870.

I'll try to get a gdb backtrace soon.
Comment 3 Timo Jyrinki 2007-02-22 14:27:06 UTC 
Marking broken (status null/blank) bugs in xorg with no activity in a long time as fixed. Please reopen if you think it's necessary, but first do a search if a similar bug report is already filed and in a NEW/ASSIGNED state. These bugs do not currently show in most search results as they do not have any status.

Sorry for this janitorial spam, you know where to send hate mails to when your inbox gets full of bugs you're subscribed to.
Comment 4 Elrond 2007-02-27 09:49:46 UTC 
I'm still interested in this bug.

I just haven't gotten to create the gdb log yet.

I will create the log in the next hour and attach it to this bug.
Comment 5 Elrond 2007-02-27 11:50:38 UTC 
Please excuse this.

With "xserver-xorg-video-glint 1.1.1-3" from Debian I can't currently reproduce it. This box is now again running with all Accelaration enabled again.

So until I can reproduce it again with this version, we have to assume, that the issue has been fixed by an unknown action.
