--- Comment #17 from Rogério Brito rbrito@ime.usp.br 2011-05-21 15:34:37 --- Hi, Michel.
Thank you very much for the attention.
(In reply to comment #16)
When the kernel radeon driver fails to initialize acceleration, there's no point in trying any functionality that needs acceleration, such as XVideo.
OK.
I don't think there's any point doing any more tests with 2.6.39-rc7, as it's obviously suffering from additional issues which only occurred intermittently during the 2.6.39 cycle.
Right.
Well, I'm afraid less quantity but more quality would be better... It's becoming rather difficult and time-consuming to find the relevant pieces of information in this mass.
Indeed, it is getting out of hand pretty quickly. Do you want me to give you some SSH access to this notebook? Or, if that's not feasible/useful, what would you like me to test as the next step, so that I avoid flooding you with so much data?
Has either of you tried agpmode=1 dynclks=1? Does that increase stability at all?
I will try those. But with which kernel? I have been avoiding compiling a kernel nowadays, since they take ages on this notebook, but I can set up a cross-compilation environment, if necessary.
BTW, would you mind sharing your .config?
I thought there was some kind of multimedia adapter for the external output.
The only external adapter is one to a VGA port. No traces of S-video here.
But really, we need to focus on one problem per bug report as much as possible, or things are getting out of hand.
OK, I can file a separate bug for this S-Video issue, then.
Thank you so much for your patience,
Rogério Brito.
