Hello,
I read Michael's article on the state of 3D/R500 in the OSS radeon driver. It mentions frame rate dips in some games, which I have not experienced. However, I do get consistent hard lockups whenever using openarena or compiz (it probably affects every 3D app but these are the only 2 things I've been testing with). The lockups happen consistently to the point where I can't use compiz for more than an hour or so (but often it only takes a few minutes of usage) before dragging a window locks up the whole PC. It seems like something is still seriously wrong.
All of my X libs/programs are up to date with their respective master GIT repositories (I built everything on May 30).
Is this a known issue? Is anybody else experiencing this issue? In the GIT commit log it's mentioned that the R500 3D support is now comparable with the R300 support. Is this happening to R300 users too?
Also, what can I do so that I can capture useful information when these hard lockups do occur?
I remain committed to helping this driver in any way I can and that's why I bring this issue to the table.
Thanks.
