Hi,

I have been tracking a DRI crash-on-startup bug with the Xorg server at:
* https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16200

The bug was originally testing on the xf86-video-ati driver. I recently
pulled down the quick-and-dirty-2d branch of radeonhd and tried running
Xorg with EXA+DRI, and got a similar server busy-loop at startup. I did
some more testing, and also I still don't get and DRI rendering from the
card in the Accel-disabled mode. The recent changes to remove some
hard-locks from the driver (by glisse@) have the drm kmod now producing
the following info message, in an infinite loop:

info: [drm] wait for fifo failed status : 0x9001C100 0x00080000

Before these changes went in, I was able to get intermittent success
using EXA+DRI with the xf86-video-ati driver. However, lately, I cannot
get the server to start anymore.

Using the radeonhd driver, I was able to get it to start with DRI when I
turned acceleration off, but the DRI windows just remain black, with no
output. I get those info: messages listed above dumped to the console in
this case too, as well as when I run radeonhd with EXA+DRI and the
xserver locks up (busy-loops) on startup.

Curious if you have any instructions in particular that I can look at
regarding this. I am suspicious of, perhaps, EXA and DRI stepping on
each other, but I don't really know. Maybe someone else can take a look
and get a better idea...

I think the drm still has issues on freebsd. I'm note sure what the
current status is there.

Alex
