- I'm running on a 4 processor R3000 Reality Engine in 1600x1200 60HZ
- mode and every once in a while the graphics engine decides to go south
- for a while. This usually happens while running a GL program of some
- sort. It's not limited to third party or my own software, SGI demos
- crash it too.
-
- Here's a dump I got in the /usr/adm/SYSLOG for a program I wrote which
- defined 500 128x128 16 bit (originally 32 bit) textures and rendered
- 121 textures every frame. The other dumps I get from SGI demos and stuff
- look almost exactly the same.
-
- Crazypete is the system name. For those curious, it's a little pond
- near Menlo Park.

- From here you get you're normal system startup...
-
- Any InSight would be of great help.
-
- An InSight CD would be nice too. =:) When is the bug disk coming out anyway?
