[Savage40] Savage IX : DRI and APM -> frozen X.org

[Phil Stopford]

Hi there,

I'm someone might be able to help with this and perhaps suggest a way to 
avoid the problem. Simply put, if I don't enable DRI in xorg.conf, I can 
quite happily suspend and resume my IBM T21 without problems (other than 
sound, but that's not likely to be relevant here). As soon as DRI is 
enabled, though, the resumed system shows a scrambled X session and no 
amount of keyboard prodding will get a response from the system. All I 
can do is remove the power source. I have tried all available snaphots 
from http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/ through to the mid-June 
release without finding one that appears to work reliably.

DRI does work other than that, showing a 300 fps output for glxgears 
compared to ~70 for non-DRI, and is proving useful enough that I'd like 
to be able to persuade APM and DRI to cooperate.

In connection with this, is there a way to trigger debug output (to a 
log file) from the DRI system so that crash bugs can be reported more 
effective? I couldn't find any information about this during a brief 
search. Since DRI crash bugs seem to lock up X, getting a logged chunk 
of debug output would obviously be handy in reporting failures.

Any comments/help would be appreciated.

Phil Stopford.
