Aah, thanks for the heads up. Are you doing this in FreeBSD? I was
wondering the other day about whether or not we should try to merge in
any feature enhancements/bug fixes from the Mesa master branch. Is
there anything else you'd recommend?
Also, I'm having trouble with the i915 driver (not i915tex, I think
our kernel drm is too old). It worked previously, but as of server
.905 and driver .94, when I start Xorg, the screen flashes and then
goes blank. Most of the time I can shut the system down via an ACPI
button event, but occasionally I get a page fault (IIRC), which makes
me think something's going wrong with the memory allocation (AFAIK we
still need to bus_dma-ify a lot of the DRM code). The server leaves
behind no logs. I tried running it with NoTrapSignals to get it to
segfault and maybe give me a clue as to what's going on, but no dice.
The DRM code doesn't complain about anything, either.
On the other hand, my R423 (r300 driver) works (even with #define
ENABLE_HW_3D_TEXTURE).
Thanks,
