Error radeon: The kernel rejected CS on ATI R500 on Linux

[illwieckz]

With an ATI R500 (RV570, Radeon X1950 PRO), when I run the game with the ultra preset (but r_imageMaxDimension 256),

I get from time to time this message printed on console:

radeon: The kernel rejected CS, see dmesg for more information (-22).

I'm running Mesa 2.1 on Linux 6.8.

This is very likely an error message from the driver, either from the userspace driver, either from the kernel driver.

The dmesg log says:

I'll report it on Mesa but I wonder what is triggering that on our side and if we do something wrong or not…

[cu-kai]

Wouldn't this be potentially a mesa bug? Why are we even wasting time testing the game on such dinosaur hardware?

[DolceTriade]

Definitely looks like a driver issue...

[sweet235]

If I read the archives correctly, this particular piece of hardware is 19 years old now. Were it human, it would be grown up now.

Do we have a rough guideline on how to proceed with ancient hardware support? On one hand, there is a certain charm in supporting such devices, especially in the open source world. On the other hand, I suppose the burden of support will only increase as time passes.
