This desktop is an Athlon XP 1800+, w/ a VIA KT400 chipset on the motherboard. The card I've got in there is a Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] with 64 megs of DDR sdram. When I run glxgears w/ DRI enabled, the entire system locks up when the mouse is moved, unless I set SWcursor on. By the entire system, I mean everything, not just X. The only recourse is to press the Reset switch. Although I'm glad I thought to try setting SWcursor on, this still is just a hack to workaround a bug somewhere. Plus, the cursor disappears when I move it over the glxgears window.
The same for me (with the same card). Similar lock up is when I try to watch TV using "xawtv". Disabling dri helps in this case (as for glxgears too), but using software cursor does not...

Reopening bug because it is definitely not clear that this is the same thing being referred to by the submitter of #2362.
See also #2581.
I am willing to donate a Radeon 7000/VE card to get this problem resolved, please contact mikeklem [at] csh.rit.edu
Does this still happen with current versions of xf86-video-ati and Mesa?
ping!
This is interesting in that the bug is "null" status/resolution state currently. Trying to change something, sorry for the noise. Meanwhile, you (Joe, Dmitry, Mike) could tell if you are still seeing this with X.org 7.2.
Unfrotunately, the solution pointed out in bug #5986 (comes from Debian) does not help in my case: ATI Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] xawtv-3.95, xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.5.8.0 Surely I've checked out not the patch itself, but its idea -- to comment out the fragment in src/radeon_accelfuncs.c : > a->SubsequentSolidTwoPointLine > = FUNC_NAME(RADEONSubsequentSolidTwoPointLine); It seems it does NOT help...
BTW, I'm free enough now to check some further ideas for xorg-x11-drv-ati (Thanks x.org source is now splitted! ;) )
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

Still waiting for updates on whether the original problem reported here persists with current releases.
Well, I've upgraded my xorg-x11-drv-ati (xf86-video-ati) from 6.5.8.0 to 6.6.3 (have compiled it under the old Fedora Core 5 environment, i.e. xorg-x11-server-sdk-1.0.1 , with some little adaptation). It seems that the issue is gone. Already 15 minutes with hard tests I cannot cause my compurter to freeze ;) Note, that the issue still was present in version 6.6.1 . Also note: to compile the 6.6.3 version under old plus "exa < 2.0" servers's environment, I have to apply the patch (attached) and cause 'USE_EXA' macro to be set anyway (because of some inaccuracy in ifdef code usage).
Created attachment 8904 [details] [review] patch to compile it under Fedora Core 5 Besides this patch, you have to use "make CC='gcc -DUSE_EXA'" to cause USE_EXA macro to be set, else it is failed to compile.

Yes, the fix for this only went into 6.6.2. Closing, feel free to reopen if you still get lockups with a current driver on a Radeon 7000.
> You're saying even xawtv survives now? :) Yep! xawtv still works... :)
Reopening because a mobility m6 (ie. 7000-series) crash is still being reported with the 6.6.3 driver at https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/15219. X.org 7.2, Mesa 6.5.2, xserver-xorg-video-ati 6.6.3 (with a few additional patches from git). Dave Gilbert says there: --- "In general use on the desktop it has been fine (I even had compiz running). However, I had left euphoria screensaver running overnight and I've come back to it twice now humg; this time I ssh'd in and found it was a hung X server; killing the X server got me control back. I've included two Xorg.0.log files; the 'hung' one is the one where it was hung - last thing is a power management command. (To make it clear, it has managed power saving and running this screensaver - so it's not an everytime). In this hung state the X server wouldn't let me attach with a gdb or allow me to strace it to see what it was up to. I've also included the log from me trying to restart it - it complains of EngineRestore 'Idle timed out'."

*** Bug 2581 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Could you by any chance try for example latest Ubuntu 8.10 alpha from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.10/ ? It includes all the latest fixes done with help of AMD releasing documentation, and is known to fix many problems. Dunno if Radeon 7000 series are affected or not.
I've tried on Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 Alpha 4 and haven't had much look; it's failing to open AGP so disabling DRI. (It's also giving me a completely white screen if Compiz is on - but I guess that might be separate). I've added a comment to the Ubuntu tracker of my matching Ubuntu bug; this is on a Tyan S2460/Dual athlon 760MP with Radeon R100QD/7200 - others may have more look.

It won't work without it.
I've got the X.org logs and a boot messages in the matching ubuntu bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/15219 X.org log: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17039039/Xorg.0.log.intrepid messages: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17039052/messages-gallifrey I realise compiz needs DRI/3D - but leaving a fully white screen without anyway to get out of it was not what I was expecting. (the mouse cursor still moved - so the X server was still alive). (I got KDE4.1 to come up - it offered the choice to switch to Xrender rather than OpenGL - in OpenGL mode it also got white screen).
Closing; not sure if FIXED or WONTFIX is more accurate, since the code has changed so much since the last substantial report. If there's still problems with a current stack, please open a new bug.
