I'm not sure about the RV350, as the same chip in 11.4 made some problems with 3d on a 1400x1050 display but worked fine on a different machine with 1280x800...
Hrm, indeed, we probably don't want to blindly blacklist there; but knowing why it works in one case and not in the other would be nice :-)
I'll try on the other RV350 soon, it is just not as easy as the USB ports on that machine are broken and thus I need to burn a CD to test. The problem is: I probably have stacks of CD-R and RW media lying around, I just never use them and thus forgot where they are ;-) The old problem was not a corruption (like in this case) but that crack-attack (3D game) locked the machine up hard with 1400x1050 but not on 1280x800. But also, with current code the gallium is better (I get the background and "shadows of the menus" on "full" gnome shell, just no fonts etc) than it was two weeks ago (where the whole display was filled with colour noise, and instead of the shadows I had different colour noise where the menus and windows should have been), so maybe it will be fixed until GM :-) Documenting the "gnome.fallback=1" in the release notes is probably as important as having a good blacklist, as that will allow people to at least boot into GNOME and do something useful with it, even if it is only in fallback mode. Without the fallback (or working blacklist), it was basically impossible to do anything, especially in the i855 case where first the session "crashed", logged me out and then GDM crashed the same. I'll try to throw current Factory live media onto the other available hardware I have lying around here and report success or failure. btw: yes, in fallback mode gnome3 is really almost usable ;-) Best regards -- Stefan Seyfried "Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
