690G gigabyte GA-MA69G-S3H using the IGP
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon X1200 Series
OpenGL version string: 2.1.7769 Release
-- UPDATE --
8.7 is buggy on my setup. Nothing is really new, as many people have said its been buggy.
I see this in dmesg: ( seen it before )
[fglrx] GART Table is not in FRAME_BUFFER range
[fglrx] Reserved FB block: Shared offset:0, size:1000000
[fglrx] Reserved FB block: Unshared offset:7ffb000, size:5000
Is it because I'm using the IGP?
Random and reproducible crashes ( either X crashes or machine reboots as if to save itself from overheating )
when using the following: ( these bugs are not new )
firefox2 + flashplayer
Stopping a DVD using xine ( usually crashed X only )
Games like Urban Terror always crashed. I have not tried it yet with 8.7
$>fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
744 frames in 5.0 seconds = 148.800 FPS
1249 frames in 5.0 seconds = 249.800 FPS
1617 frames in 5.0 seconds = 323.400 FPS
1552 frames in 5.0 seconds = 310.400 FPS
1263 frames in 5.0 seconds = 252.600 FPS
I've been watching gkrellm when using firefox2 + flashplayer and there is some point where the CPUs getting maxed.
How much CPU is the IGP allowed to use and/or if something buggy happens in the driver, why is it allowed to max out a CPU?
I'm assuming my mobo has a failsafe that is saving it from damage.
I'm also assuming if I was using an actual video card, that this would be preventable and handled without crashing things. Could I need a BIOS update?
Its odd that the kernel allows any of this to happen, but I guess thats what this means
fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel.
Peace y'all
