I've run into another issue on an Athena 10 cluster machine (a 745)- when
attempting to run a commercial 3d graphics application, AC3D, by doing:
add ac3d
ac3d
The GUI opens very slowly- there are 4 panels that should be filled with
rectangular grids- these fill up over a couple of seconds or so each but it
should essentially be instantaneous. Pull-down menus appear frozen and
unresponsive, though after multiple attempts they sometimes work again.
The launch window prints the message:
do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly.
Try adjusting the vblank_mode configuration parameter.
jdreed doesn't see this on a cluster installed GX260 or an HP. The
problem also doesn't manifest on a workstation install (755, though
still at Hardy, not Intrepid).
