I am running FreeBSD 7.2 on a amd64 system and seeing some issues with
OpenGL apps. Le me explain.
My system is:
FreeBSD Intio 7.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE #0: Fri May 1 07:18:07 UTC
2009 root at driscoll.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
I am running enlightenment as my WM (However I have seen the same issue with
KDE too).
Start a mesademo program, say "engine"
The program comes up fine. When I switch to another pager, the opengl window
is still overlaid. No refresh. Also, menus are invisible on the window. Any
mesademo program results in the same behavior. I have ATI RV350 card (ATI
X9550 AGP) and I am running "Radeon" driver.
My card:
vgapci0 at pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x04021002 chip=0x41531002
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc'
device = 'RV350 Radeon 9550'
class = display
subclass = VGA
These are the options I have in my xorg.conf file (turning off these options
seem to have no effect)
Option "ATOMTVOut" "on"
#Option "GARTSize" "64"
Option "ColorTiling" "on"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "on"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "AGPMode" "8"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "radeon"
VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc"
BoardName "RV350 AS [Radeon 9550]"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
It looks like a case of regression. It used to work really well in FreeBSD
7.1.
