Hi,
I just bought an 8mb diamond GL Fire 1000 pro (AGP) graphics card.
I did get X up using the XFCom_3DLabs server for freeBSD (2.2.6)
that I found via suse.
I'm seeing some very strange behavior(s) though and can't find
any mention in FAQ's at freebsd or XFree86. Does this ring
a bell for anyone and/or any suggestions?
Thanks in advance...
What I see is:
- lots of console messages: "calcru: negative time: -16060891 usec"
(many various usec values here)
- the whole machine seems to run very sluggishly, even in non-graphics mode
- the calcru stuff seems mainly to start happening after having
started the XFCom_3DLabs server that I had to download. But the
sluggishness occurs even before that.
- In graphics mode very odd stuff is evident:
- xclock with almost any args streams miriad messages:
"Warning Select failed: error code 22"
- I have F-keys setup for warpto in my tvtwm. Often, the warpto
works, but the warped-to window doesn't get focus
- mouse selection is eratic: double click doesn't always work,
right-click often selects entire line, rather than just up to end-of-word
- when server exits, I always see:
'FreeFontPath FPE "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc" refcount is 2,
should be 1; freeing'
So, a lot of this seems like I should be bugging the X-server author,
but the calcru stuff makes me suspicious. Should I just swap the
board? Suspect something with motherboard? Or...?
One more question: There is supposedly a new version of xf86Config as
well, but I could only find the binray for Linux(?), none for freeBSD.
I got the new cards file, but should I somehow get the new binary too?
If so, where/how?
Thanks,
k.
