Hi!
I got my first ATI card and i am pretty pleased (fast driver installation etc.) but there is one great problem:
Every 5-10 Seconds the screen freezes for 400-800ms. It does not matter if i am playing WC3 with wine or just surf the web using firefox. And i am not using compiz or something similar - just a plain 2D Desktop.
I have ~17k fps/5sec glxgears.
Driver version is 7.12
OS is gentoo with 2.6.23
WM is KDE 3.5.7
VGA is a 3850 256MB version - unmodified
I tested some xorg.conf settings but nothing helped.
The only unnormal DMESG is:
[fglrx:firegl_free_mutex] *ERROR* mutex id 0x00000022 not found in mutex list
mutex objects are normally for thread sync and stuff like that. The error appears just a few times while the freezes are some hundrets/hour. Anyone out there who can help out?
There is someone else experiencing the same but also no solution:
