 Posted: Thu Oct 14, 2004 6:37 pm Post subject: weird errors in dmesg after switching to an ATI card |
 |
|
So i switched to an ATI 9800SE graphics card yesterday, and emerged the ati-drivers and followed some guides i found on the web.
Still i only get about 1800FPS in glxgears and about 350 FPS in fgl_glxgears, which i think is low.
After checking dmesg i found the following errors:
| Code: |

| Damn, why are linux users still buying ati card ? Why the hell did you buy an ati card for gaming ? And what was your previous card ? |

You should be able to get rid of the stack traces by disabling the "Sleep inside spinlock checking" option in the "Kernel hacking" section of the kernel config. There is a fix for the MTRR errors here
