This is for those, who try to use the savage dri/drm, found on cvs-s, but cannot make it work, because every time it crashes the screen and freezes the computer. The bug only happens, if someone uses framebuffered console. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install the savage dri driver as told on HOWTO pages. (And use fb console) 2.start xorg 3. Actual Results: It crashed... Expected Results: work... Can be avoided, if the Option "DisableTile" "true" is send to the graphics driver by the /etc/X11/xorg.conf. But it disables dri. The other solution is that, the framebuffered console support must be disabled. /It causes serious data losses if using XFS filesystem./
Hmm, closing as UPSTREAM then... or did I miss the point of the bug?
I don't quite understand what this means? I am guessing cvs-s is the snapshots that dri.fd.o has availabe maybe? I am using xorg-x11 6.8.99.8, and x11-drm snapshot 20050502, with a framebuffer, and no crashes at all. (Savage TwisterK)
