My original question was:

Hi Gurus,

we have a AXP 4100 5/533 with TRIO S3. With DU 3.2g the X session hangs up,
and the only way to access the server is using a telnet session. in the
file "xdm-errors" I can see the following repeating message (filling the
disk):

BLT Engine hung in s3Stipple GLOBALWAIT ; resetting...

In DU 4.0d works ok. Maybe there is a problem with adriver that 3.2g does
not support. All Patches (I hope) for 3.2G have been applied.

Any ideas would be appreciate. Thanks in advance.

I got some answers from:

rye [rye_at_jtasc.acom.mil]
Christian Miranda [cmiranda_at_gmd.com.pe]
Dr. Tom Blinn [tpb_at_zk3.dec.com] (of course :-)) )

Stephen Walter [Stephen.Walter_at_hawke.co.uk] hit the nail with the following
answer:
There is a patch available that is not part of the jumbo kit. The kit
is called duv32g21800-b18er.tar.Z It can be obtained from the following
location:

ftp://ftp.service.digital.com/public/Digital_UNIX/v3.2g

X is now up an running.

Thanks to all who replied!

Robert
