I'm only aware of one issue which leads to corruption. I have patches that resolve that issue which are not yet committed. If your are experiencing lockups with DRI disabled, then something very strange is going on and you will need to provide more details. I don't remember exactly what drm code I have committed to 7 right now, but it should be fairly current as I don't think I have much in the way of outstanding MFCs. The current drm and radeon drivers work on every card that I have, which in the r600 class are HD 3650,3850,4650. robert. > Regards, > Oliver > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Robert Noland <rnoland@FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD
