Bug#348730: xserver-xorg/glint sometimes freezes



Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11


Without disabling some accelaration, some apps (especial
KOffice) can freeze the X-Server, it goes to 100% CPU and
does not react at all. Forcing me to reboot the box.


I have this:
00:08.1 Non-VGA unclassified device: 3DLabs GLINT Delta (rev 01)
00:08.2 Non-VGA unclassified device: 3DLabs GLINT MX (rev 01)

The following options make X slower (noticeable!), but fix
it:

        Option "XaaNoSolidFillRect" "yes"
        Option "XaaNoSolidFillTrap" "yes"

I haven't yet tested, if one of the two is enough to fix it
too. (finding those two using logarithmic search was enough
work!)

The basic problem already existed in xfree86 4.3, which was
my reason to upgrade to xorg.


My Xorg.0.log does not have any really useful information,
and the most important part of my xorg.conf is:

Section "Device"
	Identifier      "ELSE GLoria-L/MX"
	Driver          "glint"
	BusID           "PCI:0:8:1"
	Option "XaaNoSolidFillRect" "yes"
	Option "XaaNoSolidFillTrap" "yes"
EndSection
