[Bug 507148] Re: [lucid] desktop runs out of video memory on ATI Radeon Mobility 7500

[Jamie Strandboge]

meh, as soon as I submitted that last comment, I opened a gnome-
terminal, typed dmesg and compiz crashed. This time all that is in dmesg
is:

[  738.880732] [drm:radeon_cs_ioctl] *ERROR* Failed to parse relocation

This is with KMS, with compiz and with EXA (no xorg.conf).

For my own records or anyone trying to get it to crash somewhat quickly, it seems this will do it (eventually-- I don't have a simple reproducer yet):
open firefox
open OO.o Writer
open OO.o Draw
open Gimp
open gnome-terminal
open a second gnome-terminal, and send a lot of text to it (like dmesg)
