True... More info. I observed an effect (*before* doing the back-port) that when I reduced the buffer size to minimum X ran like treacle (ATI Mach64 + G3 shouldn't be)... could (just) possibly look a little like a lock-up if the machine was slower... Update: I just used the back-ported drivers to run Benno Senoner's latency test code - which simultaneously stresses various parts of the system whilst playing sound... The includes running x11perf. No problems here... (the results are not so good but that's another story)... I might leave Benno's test running overnight to see if I can get the 'lock' effect - but I've been hammering this system (with complies, debugs, find /, netscape etc. etc.) and can't replicate the problem. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
