(Get the code!)
I have managed to get my system stable now running Edgy. I have modified my xorg.conf with the attached settings, and have been playing with the recommended defaults as you can see. I am so close to getting this completely sorted that I'm getting excited!
Whether Paul's patches have made it into the currently release, I am not sure, but the system doesn't crash using 24bit or 16bit. However, if I select 16bit I can get 3D accelleration working, but not with 24 (DRI says dynamic memory allocation failed). Further to this, in 16bit mode (with DRI enabled and 3D for the first time on my Vaio Z1) Firefox and Opera crash whenever I visit a flash site. When in 24bit, not crash, but no 3D.
Now, I'd really like to have both (well who wouldn't) or an easy way to change without rebooting? Is there a way to change when the memory allocation (using APGart) is performed, because 32MB is allocated succesfully when in 16bit, but nothing in 24bit.
Looking at the logs, it would appear that the memory allocation is happening after the selection of the colour depth. If this could be changed, then perhaps it would work? (Just guessing)
Cheers
Adam
