Hi, server crashes immediatly after start, in advance to older drivers I'm able to switch back to vt. At last versions I need to login from remote and reboot computer. It seems (see http://www.drillich.com/xorg/dmesg.log.gz) that X tries to use a NULL Pointer. any ideas to get closer to the bug greetings thomas using latest git versions of on Linux Kernel 2.6.23 git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/mesa git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati xorg.conf -> http://www.drillich.com/xorg/xorg.conf > lspci -s 01:05.0 -vvv 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 [Radeon Xpress 200G Series] (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: Holco Enterprise Co, Ltd/Shuttle Computer Unknown device f391 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 32 (2000ns min), Cache Line Size: 32 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 17 Region 0: Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] Region 1: I/O ports at ee00 [size=256] Region 2: Memory at dfaf0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] [virtual] Expansion ROM at dfa00000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: <access denied> mm-io-trace kernel 2.6.22.6 fglrx 8.42.3 http://www.drillich.com/xorg/mmio-trace-fglrx-ati-rs480-amd64x2.bz2 need to switch back to kernel 2.6.22.6. In kernel 2.6.23 they did some garbage collection, removed depricated, and fglrx depends on that ;-)
I have similar issues, but the requirements of 2.6.22.6 for fglrx are incorrect. I am using 2.6.23 kernel, and I built fglrx against 2.6.23rc3 before 2.6.23 was finalized. I still have the patch around, but it needs to be tweaked for 2.6.23 final. Mine is an RS485 chipset, however, so I would assume the issue exists within the r300 driver, or the drm-radeon module.
Closing this bug, reopen and attach to bugzilla informations if you still have this issue with recent kernel, mesa, xf86-video-ati.
Mass version move, cvs -> git
