Hi Curtis, thank you for the hint, I will surely test this. However, the call
sax2 -r -m 0=firegl -b /usr/share/doc/packages/fglrx/sax2-profile
is exactly what SuSE recommends for configuration - if this does not work, it should be considered a bug, isn't it?
I am listening to the xfree-mailing list for a while now, but I haven't seen any commentary there saying, "hey, if you run into this or that trouble, try this ...". Maybe some readme's with options what and how to test would be helpful, too.
Due to the fact that the 3D performance of the ATI-driver is significantly better (no more graphics errors, no more system freezes) I think there are good reasons to use it - regardless of gpl / nogpl discussions.
IMHO a recommendation on how to configure is better than no recommendation - but it should be conservative. And, (this one goes to SuSE) if volunteers are needed for testing to improve documentation - I am willing to help, but someone should coordinate somehow.
Take care

Hi Dieter. I was having the same problem and it seems to relate to the ¨-r¨ flag. You might want to try the ¨-x¨, or for myself, the ¨-V¨" (make
I agree overall - the doc should be updated if this is a persistent or pervasive problem. The ¨-r¨ causes sax2 to re-init the database, if you monitor is not in the database this may be the problem - no reference = hang/fail/crash, The ¨-V¨ seemed to be a more cogent solution since it mandates theat sax2 base monitor values/spec on VESA standards (and may cause it to read the monitors DDC output). Anyway give it a try. Cheers, Curtis. - -- Spammers Beware: Tresspassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again!
