I do appologize if I'm cross posting here. I'm not sure which forum would
be best to address this. I have a encountered an error when running
xscreensaver-demo as a normal user. In Slackware 10.2 the daemon is not
running by default and there is a popup window that promts to turn it on.
If I click 'okay' then the screen freezes and I must reboot. I can't SysRq
and I don't have another box to try logging into it and shutting it down.
If I select 'cancel' then and then start the daemon from the menu
everthing seems to work fine. No lockups. I encounter a similar issue with
a dialog box in the game S.C.O.U.R.G.E: Heroes of a lesser renoun. Upon
starting the actual game (once characters are created) I am presented
with dialog box. The game runs behind this box and I can move the box
around the screen, but as soon as I close this box then the game continues
running for maybe 1-2 seconds before the system locks up again. Time to
reboot.
I've tried to debug the game with gdb but I get no output before the
screen freezes. I've tried running different versions of the game both
compilied by me and binary packages. I get the same results on Fedora Core
3 with kernel 2.6.9 as I do with Slackware 10.2 with kernel 2.4.31. I've
tried xorg 6.8.1 and 6.8.2 and get the same results. The game does NOT
crash with indirect rendering. It's unplayably slow but it can exit
gracefully. A few bit that might help:
r200 with TCL (it crashes even when I disable it)
Radeon 9200 128M AGP
I'll send my log if you need it, but other apps don't seem to suffer from
this same issue when dri is enabled.
P.S. By the way is it normal to see visual corruption in glxgears when
page flipping is turned on? Again I'll post some screenshots if it will
help.
