Thanks; I have added this patch to the TODO; it's Fabio's call as to whether it becomes a must-have fix for -2, but I suspect it should. To devolve into a parlance I've seen elsewhere (such as on Subversion's development list) Fabio, please count me as voting +1 on adding this to the TODO for -2. Michel, this fixes the following, right? (EE) RADEON(0): RADEONCPGetBuffer: CP reset -1020 (EE) RADEON(0): RADEONCPGetBuffer: CP start -1020 (EE) RADEON(0): RADEONCPGetBuffer: CP GetBuffer -1020 (EE) RADEON(0): GetBuffer timed out, resetting engine... [repeat until /var fills up] Just making sure I understand the problem, symptoms, and solution correctly. -- G.
