Same here on Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] Difference is that ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't work. Only remote login + kill X works. Either ctrl-alt-f1 and chvt trigger the bug. I am using a dual-head setup with a digital flat panel from the laptop and a connected CRT. To make this work, I have to specify MonitorLayout, this might be the cause of the problem. On 6.7.0 indeed this worked. Created attachment 1580 [details]
X11 log file

xorg.conf
Please note that when the freeze happens, all the X server seems to do (according to strace and ltrace) is write messages in logs that (EE) some timeout expired, every few seconds. It does nothing else. Sorry I can give more detail, the log file with the respective entries seems to have vanished :-( Also note that when killing the X server in this state: - only kill -9 works - the screen is left in graphic mode, there is no way to get it back to character mode This bug appeared for me when I applied the patch on Bug 1559 (attachment 1133 [details] [review]) to 6.8.0. It works fine with the regular 6.8.0 module. I suspect a connection. Created attachment 1997 [details]
Sax generated xorg.conf
The same behaviour happen to me.
Linux is Suse 9.2
Xorg is 6.8.2
Graphic card is Ati Radeon Mobile (RS100 IGP329M)
The new Ati (17/02/05) fglrx driver report that this bug is solved
but they doesn't work with my card.
Cheers, Max
It's definitely a bad interaction between the radeon module and the Xorg binary, because it also happens when you run a new Xorg binary with an old radeon module (where it used to work). I have the same problem when I'm using 6.8.0. The problem only shows up when I'm using my T40 in a docking station which is connected to both an LCD screen (IBM L200p) and a CRT (IBM P260). I am using Xinerama. Alt-Crtl-Backspace or Alt-Crtl-F1 will result in a "freeze". I have no keyboard/mouse response. I don't know if its X that's freezing or the entire system. I've tried using the MergedFB support in the radeon driver and the problem still occurs. I've also tried recompiling my kernel with no fb device and the problem still occurs. I Using xorg 6.8.2 the problem has gone. Created attachment 2088 [details]
My xorg.conf file.
Is there a patch I can apply to 6.8.0? Shiva same problem here.... I am running X.org 6.8.2 with a radeon 7500. Cant drop from console from X. Strange thing is if I shutdown X and restart it every thing works fine. I can move to console without any problems if i restart x. However, the problem returns when I reboot. What distribution are you using? Compare bug #1717. Compare #2011. Compare #2556 and #2698. *** Bug 2402 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The problem is no longer present on my machine. I am now running FC4 with xorg 6.8.2. (In reply to comment #18) > The problem is no longer present on my machine. I am now running FC4 with xorg > 6.8.2. Good to hear. |
