Hi!
I have some very unlucky i830 chip which doesn't work well even with
reasonably modern drivers. The problem is that when i try to use more
than "VideoRam 8060" memory (and that's needed to use xvideo/hw
cursor/dri) all the three parts fail:
- i see some random garbage instead of hw cursor
- i get blue rectangle instead of xvideo output
- dri is not working (on 4.3.0-2 it uses software rendering, on
4.3.0-0pre1v4 it used to crash xfree)
- even 'x11perf -all' displays some garbage on 4.3.0-2 (on
4.3.0-0pre1v4 it used to crash xfree)
All the releases before 4.3.0-2 used to crash very often, since i
installed 4.3.0-2 it crashes seldom (once in 10-20 minutes) but now i
see much more garbage.
Hi.
first, there's a known bug in 4.3.0-2, that prevents DRI from working on i386
based hardware.
So try to upgrade to 4.3.0-3.
If this still doesn't work as desired for you, you could upgrade to
xserver-xfee86 found at http://rphlx1.uni-r.de .
This contains some fixes to the i830 part of the i810 driver grabbed from
upstream - mainly to fix a segfault on i865g based hardware.
It _maybe_ could fix your problems as well...
hth.
