Crash using DRI with 2.4.0 and 2.4.1

Crash using DRI with 2.4.0 and 2.4.1

[Miguel Rodríguez Pérez]

Hi, I have a Matrox G200 card installed on an Ali motherboard.
Sometimes when I use any opengl program my box crashes. It is more 
likely that it will crash if I have used the xvideo extension or the 
matroxfb, but this is not a must, it simply increases the chance of a 
crash, which is very high anyway.
I have tried both 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 kernels with Xfree 4.0.2 both with the 
same results.
Another problem I am having is that if I enable dri in X I can't see 
what I type in the fb.

Please, if someone reports to this, please include myself in the cc, as 
I am not suscribed to the list.

PD: excuse my horrible English, I write much better in Spanish ;-)

Are you sure you get the same results with 2.4.1? I'm in the exact
same position (G200 on a Gigabyte GA5AX with ALi M1541/3). There was a
patch to properly support AGP on these boards which went in between
2.4.0 and 2.4.1 which solved the problem for me (at least in 2.4.0; I
haven't tested DRI throughly in 2.4.1 yet).

I'm sure it crashes with kernel 2.4.1 (I'm using it right now). Anyway, 
where can I find that patch, so I can try with a patched 2.4.0?

Thank you.

Yes, I'm sure. In fact I just downloaded the 2.4.1 kernel to test if 
this was fixed.

Can you send me that patch so I can test it.

 This is fixed in the -ac series against 2.4.0, from I think -ac2.
I don't think the fix made the mainstream kernel yet.
