Also happens when I want to drop back to a VT or switch to one, again not 100% but close to.

Crashes computer everytime I go fullscreen. This happened to me on 9.1 and 9.2.
Doesn't make a difference if compiz is enabled, either way computer crashes every time I play a video.
I'm using ubuntu 8.04 and x1600 mobile.
I'm using a Radeon HD4870 with 1 GB of GDDR5 on Ubuntu Intrepid AMD64 here.
I'm also wondering (q for the AMD devvers): once Gallium3D goes stable in Mesa, will fglrx be switching to support it (and DRI2, etc etc) instead of the old driver arch? and if so, what time do you guys see youselves involving yourselves with it?

JeanPaul145, same question; do you have "unredirect fullscreen windows" checked ? Could you try both settings (checked, unchecked) ?
We moved our OpenGL driver onto an architecture similar to Gallium3D a couple of years ago (based around our proprietary IL rather than TGSI), so no plans to change there.
On the open source side we plan to jump across to Gallium3D pretty soon, but we want to get the "classic mesa" implementation running at 5xx level first. That code will be needed for distros which aren't running with DRI2, KMS and GEM; KMS is coming along well but it will be at least a year before all the major distros move over to use it.
We could implement a Gallium3D-based Mesa that didn`t need DRI2 and GEM, of course, but nobody seems to think that would be a good use of time.Last edited by bridgman; 22 February 2009, 12:31 AM.Test signature
