Hi All

There goes a weekend of my life which I will never get back. I spent it trying to get XGL running with no lock ups. I have a X300 PCIE which belongs in the rv370 series, is there anyone out there who has this and runs XGL with no freezing issues? (I dont' care about hardware acceleration or driver choice) I understand there are drivers for the r200 series of cards to fix lockups but sadly doesn't help me.

Another side question is it possible to run XGL is pure MESA mode is it going to run smoothly? This is prolly my road if I can't fix this freezing issue.

Cheers

Thanks in advance.

I have XGL right now running smothly on my system, I use ati-drivers and I also have hardware acceleration, Im very happy with it... no freezing

If this helps, this is my xorg.conf, its very simple but may help...

For those who are interested I've stopped the freezing issue at a tiny bit of performace hit.

I've disabled mtrr in Xorg.conf.

I had mtrr disabled, enabled it and i now have a fully stable Xgl on ATI x700 pcie, Thanks to those configs, I think the agplock=0 line was what cut it for me, but i've done some other changes if someone's still getting those freezes i can share my xorg.conf.

It would be nice if you could share your xorg.conf.
