Vallo Kallaste: |Randall Hopper: |> you AGP2X/4X folk with TNT2s and G400s no doubt will smoke me silly! | |That's all good to hear but I can't get my G400 behave correctly when |using Xfree 3.3.5. The G400 will be recognized and all is well until I |launch xterm, and do some ls -la in the xterm. The xterm window goes |black and doesn't come back. Same for launching some 3D demo, for |example gears. That's unfortunate. Do you get the same from 3.3.4? 3.3.4 is what I'm running (2D and 3D) with my G200. Also, what depth is this? I'm doing 16bpp 565 most of the time (I only mention this in case there's a healthy overlap between the G200 and G400 driver code). BTW, re: black xterms, I saw something similar after running 3.9.16, and then flipping back to 3.3.4. If I 'tput clear' in an xterm text displays fine until the xterm scrolls, then the whole thing goes black and stays black. Possibly some sort of XCopyArea (BitBlt) bug. A reboot cures it. Sounds like the card state isn't being completely initialized (by 3.3.x at least). |G400 with 32MB of memory and it works very well under Xfree beta 3.9.16 |except for 3D. Does it sound like a bug in the XFree 3.3.5? -- Possibly. It's likely since all works fine under 3.9.16 in 2D. Searching Dejanews for other similar G400 reports turns up a few hits. http://www.deja.com/home_ps.shtml, string "g400 & black & xfree*".
