gdb output during hang
We also had the user collect a backtrace, although it looks like it's just stuck in a wait loop (no surprise given the issue is a hang). I'm including it anyway just in case it might be of some use.
Created attachment 19962 [details] [review] disable gatos code It looks like this card has a tv tuner on it. Can you confirm? The tuner setup is idling the drawing engine which is failing sometimes for some reason (maybe an ordering issue). If you don't use the tuner, this patch will disable it and should avoid the problematic case. Unfortunately, the gatos video in code is unmaintained at the moment. Hi, I posted the original bug. Yes, this card does have a TV tuner. I will try disabling gatos. It never worked anyway. I have since updated to the release version of Intrepid. It now refuses to start the fglrx driver and gives the error "Failed to allocate CMM buffer". It is able to recover, however, and boots up in the generic driver. Several other people are getting this error: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/287413 Interestingly this person has an Asus K8V Deluxe motherboard and an ATI 9800XT AGP video card. I have an Asus A8V Deluxe motherboard and an ATI 9600XT AGP video card. Maybe gatos is causing both these problems. Don, please note that -fglrx bugs are not handled in this bug tracker. We must only focus on the -ati issue in this report. Sorry, I got my drivers confused. The first time Intrepid fails it defaults to the vesa driver and there is no obvious way to get back to the ati driver. I had to add 'Driver "ati"' to xorg.conf. It now hangs just like it did in Hardy except now it fails most of the time instead of half the time. I was able to apply the patch in comment #2 but I cannot get xf86_video_ati to build and install. Is there instructions for doing this somewhere? Thanks. Is this still an issue with KMS or a newer driver? I have been running Lucid Lynx for about 2 months now and have not seen this bug at all. I have not changed any of my hardware since I originally reported this bug so I assume it is now fixed.
