--- Comment #10 from Alex Schuster wonko@wonkology.org 2011-02-09 17:19:21 PST --- Whoops, thanks for reminding me. I was using the fglrx driver, it was very stable, but somehow it seems that there is a memory problem, my system was swapping a lot after a day of being logged into KDE4.
So I tried the radeon driver again. And it seems to work now, I did not have a crash since. No __glXDRIbindTexImage messaegs any more. There are some slight graphics distortions, mostly when scrolling stuff. But this effect does not always happen and had been much, much worse half a year ago, so I do not care much. Oh, now that I try it I see that Quake3 is really slow, about 5 FPS. Nexuiz has 10 FPS and is also unplayable. That's bad. KDE4 desktop effets are okay though. X uses about 20% CPU when I have them enabled, that's a little high, but I think it was the same with fglrx.
I am now running xorg-server 1.7.7-r1, mesa 7.10, radeon 6.14.0. This gallium stuff is disabled.
