D'oh! Looks like someone filed this before at the RedHat bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450432 The feeling there is that having 4gb RAM (which I do) plays a part. can we get lspci -vvv from this system all of it for all cards attached? and please make sure you are using latest Fedora and/or -git ati driver so we are all at the same starting point.

complete output from lspci -vvv
Attaching the complete output from lspci -vvv on the affected system.
My fedora 9 system is completely up-to-date via yum, with the livna repo enabled.
I can confirm a problem with xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-19 included in Fedora (from the official repository) locking up my system. In my case this is a Toshiba Satellite A215 laptop (full hardware profile: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/?uuid=pub_f3889c13-ed5b-44b9-a6ab-72db21a4aaa5, will attach lspci -vvv as well, though). The issues I've been experiencing are a bit different, as I explained in my bug report to the Fedora Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462157#c4), this is usually triggered when I am viewing images (it doesn't actually matter the program). When this condition happens, I'm able to SSH into the computer, but everything is very, very slow! There I don't seem to be able to see anything in the system log, dmesg or top, other than Xorg eating away quite a lot of CPU, as do other processes (hald-addon-storage and top itself). At one point when this problem happened, I was able to see the Xorg.0.log for that particular session and saw the file flooded with the messages: [mi] mieqEneque: out-of-order valuator event: dropping. [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probaly stuck in an infinite loop. System: Fedora 9 x86_64 fully updated. Kernel: 2.6.26.3-29.fc9 (from Fedora updates) driver: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-19 (from Fedora updates) However I have also tried with the very same results with GIT drivers from 29 august 2008, will try to use latest git (though for some reason I suspect there won't be much change) and with latest release 6.9.0 drivers with the same results. XServer: 1.5.2 (from Fedora updates) Created attachment 19294 [details]

Xorg log that exhibits the problem being logged
6.8.0 is ancient. Can you try 6.12.4 (current stable release) or git master? closing due to lack of feedback. |

Created attachment 17738 [details] Xorg.0.log from the crash, which doesn't seem to say anything I have a new Dell Optiplex 755 with an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro (PCIE not AGP). However I can only use it with the vesa driver. I even had to reboot in single mode and use vesa just to finish the firstboot setup for Fedora. Whenever I try to use radeon (or radeonhd), the system locks up tight and I have to do a hard power cycle. I can't ping or ssh to it at all. Some notes FYI: # uname -srvpi Linux 2.6.25.10-86.fc9.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 7 20:23:46 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 # lspci | grep Radeon 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV610 video device [Radeon HD 2400 PRO] # rpm -qa | grep xorg | grep ati xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-18.fc9.da.x86_64 ^--- This was a package built for me by airlied in #radeon on freenode. It doesn't work either. # rpm -qa | grep xorg | grep radeonhd xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd-1.2.1-1.1.20080429git.fc9.x86_64 Basically it's a stock Fedora 9 install with the livna repository enabled. Everything is up-to-date via yum. Let me know what else I can provide to assist you. I miss Enemy Territory :`(
