Done --- it didn't help.
The mesa-3.5 branch _did_ cure the q3a cinematics problem, and the bad
performance and rendering artifacts in one of the tribes2 training
levels (which looks as if it was due to an imperfect software fallback
path in the sky rendering). In fact, I'm very pleased by the 3.5
branch performance. However, it did not help the lockup on startup.
A couple of other data points: dynamic X resolution switching is fine,
so it's not a mode timing setup problem. X -probeonly works fine, so
I can get you a verbose server log up to the graphics setup point if
you want it. Initialising or restoring graphics state, either on
entering X or on leaving it (or switching to/from a text VC), locks up
about 75% of the time.
I have got both trunk and mesa-3.5-branch trees built and installed so
I can easily apply any patches you want me to try, either in hope of
fixing things or to obtain a trace of where things stop working.
Cheers,
Stephen
