It would be great to get others to test as well. To do so,
1) patch libdrm using this patch.
2) rebuild libdrm, and at least mesa-7.2, xorg-server-1.5.3
3) patch your kernel (-29_rc series preferably) with patch in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10893
4) startx
Done. Applied the kernel patch and the DRM patch and installed mesa 7.3
and xserver 1.5.3.
Had the xserver up and going with gnome desktop on my ev67 alpha. Seems
to be working fine.
Nice to see glxinfo return lots of info, and glxgears actually run
without locking up. But I only got 200 whatevers per second with
glxgears. I recall that it use to do 400. Makes me wonder if I am
really getting hardware acceleration. This is with a Radeon 9200
(RV280) graphics card.
Well. At least the patch applied and the kernel came up:
[oliver@gosa ~]$ uname -a
Linux gosa.beer.linux-kernel.at 2.6.29-0.28.rc4.git6.1axp.fc10.alpha #1
Sat Feb 14 08:07:29 CET 2009 alpha alpha alpha GNU/Linux
It's headless, so quite hard to say if drm locking is fixed or not, at
the moment. But it's informative for Jay, that he can try this kernel
:-) If he has time...
