[comp.sys.sgi] gr1_fifo_intr

sears@SGI.PHYSICS.LSA.UMICH.EDU (Rob Sears) (05/22/91)

A graphics program I wrote occasionally kills the window manager with the
following error:

May 22 10:38:13 sgi grcond[2329]: CIO: gr1_fifo_intr: board 0: TIMEOUT (FIFO sti
ll > half full)!
May 22 10:38:13 sgi grcond[2329]: CIO: 
May 22 10:38:13 sgi grcond[2329]: CIO: WARNING: Graphics error: GE PC = 6644

(Obvoiusly this is the SYSLOG report; everything before the CIO: on each line
shows up in the little window you get when you've really screwed up.)

I know how to get my program to die like this, on demand, but I don't know what
the error means so I can't track down the problem.  Could anyone help with
this?  Thanks in advance.
