There is no bug in SaX2 for this. You confirmed that SaX2 wrote EXANoComposite as expected. The remaining issue is that this option doesn't help on your hardware, but that's not SaX2 related.
Besides the two non-identical GX260s, I also tested on Intel's own http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/va/index.htm using a 2.4GHz Celeron and 2x256M RAM. EXANoComposite helps on none of the 3 845Gs I tested on.
Sounds more like 20 identical machines.
I think between Lynn & me there are at least 3 non-identicals.
And he's talking about screen flicker. Is this with fbdev, vesa or intel with EXANoComposite. I don't know.
I think Lynn's flicker happens with VESA.
Have you ever considered to send one of these machines to Intel's upstream developers?
ISTR some mention of that someone else might do that not so long ago, but as this can be reproduced on Intel's own motherboard I don't think that should be necessary. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18555 looks like a more appropriate upstream. That suggests maybe to substitute 'Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"' for 'Option "EXANoComposite"' to fix the bug. I already put the Radeon back in GX260 BP3YJ21, but XAA worksforme in the other two boxes. On the Celeron the Youtube video performance is awful, about the same as with NoAccel. On the P4 performance seems good enough for such an antique. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
