--- Comment #28 from Andrew Charles Hurst a.hurst@shef.ac.uk 2008-04-28 17:31:15 --- On Thunderbird's advice I tried readtex mode a while ago, and got what you describe: in game menu not drawn, but input still works and you get back to game.
The hang truly is a hang: freezes X for a time, before I can bring up a terminal and kill it. Never responds to input again, and no sound/video.
I'll plug the old card back in and get you a screenshot.
I have 256mb AGP aperture size set too, but I meant the card's onboard memory: doesn't wined3d make an assumption somewhere like 32/64mb?
