There are two things I've been trying to get to work properly: 1) RadeonFB 2) Direct rendering in X (needs DRI and AGP) The first one actually works, but only if I set "mem=840MB" at startup (I've got 1GB.) Not sure I see why I need to give up some memory here. Maybe I'm just missing something ... The second needs some tweaking before it can start being played with (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107073819005830&w=2). But even then, it's not really stable. I just go in KDE's screensaver config menu, select "Flux (GL)"->Setup and try a few different types. Usually, but the time I've selected to preview a third type (regardless of the name, it's just any third), the machine simply hangs, and I have to hard reset. I'm not sure how this propagates down to the kernel in terms of calls/accesses, but it's really not an issue with time (i.e. leaving the screensaver run for a while will not cause any hangs,) it's an issue with changing the screensaver config a limited number of times, usually three times. Here's some more info about the config: - RedHat 9 - P4 2.4GHz with HT - P4C800-Deluxe Asus board (intel 875 chipset) - 1GB RAM - Tried with a 2.4.26 with the above-mentioned patch Anyone have something like this working?
