X-Mailer: VM 6.43 under 20.4 "Emerald" XEmacs Lucid Message-ID: <14696.65054.358275.5292@grasshopper.cs.duke.edu> Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Anybody out there who is having trouble with XFree86 related panics (panic: machine check) should try upgrading to -stable & building the latest XFree86-4.0.1. I had been seeing machine checks when running XFree86-4.0 on my Miata with a powerstorm 4D10 (3dlabs) but I no longer see them. I'd been planning on spending the evening debugging the panics when, much to my surprise, everything "just worked" (with the exception of the build expecting a directory which doesn't exist: xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/AgpGartDrivers) I'm unsure if this newfound stability is due to the new toolchain that was MFC'ed to -stable last week, or if its due to a change in X itself..
