Please tell me which additional informations you need. if needed i can recompile the radeon driver with debug info (through the 'debug' useflag in gentoo).

Comment 1 roberto previdi 2009-11-27 22:09:26 UTC

i forgotted to say that the crash happens even when resuming from hibernation and when starting a game in wine which forces a video mode change (starcraft) so it seems that the crash is when setting a video mode.

Comment 2 roberto previdi 2009-11-28 06:06:55 UTC

i recompiled the driver with 'debug' use flag, but the stacktrace is still the same, it doesn't contain source file's row numbers. is there a way to obtain a more useful stack trace? maybe using gdb?

---------------------------------------------------------------

so searching google for xf86_reload_cursors () i found this page: 
http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-driver-ati/2009-May/009609.html
.

so i removed the SWCursor option and the bug is gone!

thank you for the link and sorry for the duplication, but maybe someone will come across this from a search and it can save some debug time...
