Gl apps run smoothly for a second or two, then start to jitter and the ERROR message (below) is issued. PPRacer runs (in 3D) up to the start of the race, fails to display it, then the computer freezes completely. Some screensavers do the same, others don't. Looks like a GPU lock. Looks somewhat like Bug #7236. I use the latest cvs drm and mesa and latest git xserver and via driver. Linux kernel 2.6.16.24 - Lock occurs with both kernel via and drm module and cvs modules. Hardware: Via unichrome built-in to Biostar K8N800M7 misdetected as the similar Biostar K8VGA-M jim:~% dmesg|grep drm [drm] Initialized drm 1.0.1 20051102 [drm] Initialized via 3.0.0 20060616 on minor 0: [drm:via_mem_alloc] *ERROR* Attempt to allocate from uninitialized memory manager.
The error message is a bug in the via 2D driver. It's fixed in the openChrome driver http://www.openchrome.org, but not yet pushed into Xorg git. This is a duplicate of 7456. However, the ppracer hang is a duplicate of bug #5092. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 7456 ***
