I have a ATI AIW Radeon 9800 Pro (r350), I'm getting plenty of freezing

than computer locks) GLXGears runs fine and for a long time, no
freezing. (10755 frames in 5.0 sec = 2151 FPS etc) I'm using FreeBSD 6.0
Stable, I just built from cvs at freedesktop.org Mesa3D ,DRM kernel
module and the r300 DRI module.
Is their anything I can test or do?
This is a known problem with r9500, r9700 and r9800 cards.
You can initialize the card with official drivers.
No other fix beyond that exist nor is being planned on.
My only concern is that the r300 driver is now making it onto more and
more machines, either through Xorg, or just by being packaged by their
distribution. Many of these machines will have those cards that will
lockup almost immediately when a 3D application (other than glxgears) is
launched. Instead of having all these people think that Xorg (or the
DRI) is just an unstable POS, it might make sense to have the server
automatically disable 3D on those cards unless the users specifies an
option ("EnableUnstableDRIon9800Hardware") in their xorg.conf file.
