Title: Avenger deadlock/crash ?
Post by Cosmos on 14.05.16 at 13:59:07
A friend of mine said to me :

"For Voodoo3, I just remember that it is some combination of commands while the GPU is in a certain state... which leads to deadlock/crash"

"No, this bug is in the PPC driver (and certainly also in the 68k). It does not cause a permanent slowdown. You can feel when it manifests itself : the display hangs a second... and unlocks software after hard reset the timeout + Voodoo3. About 2-3 seconds blocking, I don't know exactly..."

"Lucky because it happens everywhere. OneVision had on Mediator 1200 + BlizzardPPC I think. And I had on Grex 1200. And when Bigfoot was bypassed in his own MorphOS driver, he understood that it was a universal problem that GPU... Bug fixed in the VSA-100 and Voodoo4 & 5"


Anyone here for more informations about this Avenger GPU bug ?



Thanks a lot !
