RE: [Fwd: [Bug 3914] ATI Mach64 locks up sparc pos t 6.8.99.3]
I've been running 7.1.1 since the beginning of Sept using the ati drivers with no problems, so I might not be able to try out the mach64 patch after all. But let me confirm a few things.

I have VIDEO_CARDS="mach64 ati sunffb vesa" in /etc/make.conf, although mach64 and sunffb are the only ones that xorg-server compiled. I have Mach64 support, CT/VT/GT/LT support, and Mach64 GX support complied in kernel. Also have DRM enabled and ATI Rage 128 and ATI Radeon as modules. Using xorg's config utility, it picked the ati driver. So it would seem that I'm using the ati driver after all?!

Also I am not able to get GL working, but maybe the hardware doesn't support it. Enabling it, then running a GL screensaver causes X to crash...

Anyone running a SB100 confirm that I have things setup correctly?

Thanks,
-Chris

Thanks, any testing is appreciated. Gustavo says he has had good luck
with it, so you should expect success. So, here's hoping. :)
