Hello,
Last week I reported a complete hang with PenumbraOverture on kernel 2.6.35 and 2.6.36-rc3. This week I tried 2.6.36-rc4, and I still get a complete hang after playing PenumbraOverture for about a minute. I'm not using any xorg.conf, I'm using KMS. I also tried without KMS, and then I have no problem. 2.6.34 is the last kernel that worked with KMS.
I got no reaction on my first mail; could you please let me know whether this report is useful at all? And if so, could you please let me know if I should file this in Bugzilla? I searched bugzilla but I couldn't find anything like I'm reporting here. Also, this problem does not seem to be reported as a kernel regression.
Or maybe the problem is that I'm not subscribed to the dri-devel mailing list.
My graphics adapter is an ATI Technologies Inc M24GL [Mobility FireGL V3200] (rev 80), and I'm using Slackware 13.1 with Mesa 7.8.1, Xserver 1.7.7. I wasn't able to get any further information--I tried running the game with all graphics options turned off, but it didn't help.
Anyway, I'd really like this problem to be solved, and I'd very much like to help out as much as I can.

Hi,
I missed this message when it was first sent. Could you check if this is bug 29389 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29389)?
The latest 2.6.36 RCs should already have the kernel parameter to disable polling.
