Description Elmar Stellnberger 2010-12-02 13:48:38 UTC 
I have collected some backtraces (at least two different kinds) of crashes during DRI having been enabled with radeon. I had to disable hardware rendering to avoid crashes that are too frequent to work with. One backtrace is only inherent to Xorg, libc and libglx.so, the other involves radeon_drv.so at a single point in the bakctrace. I have tried to extract useful symbolic informtation with libbfd; with limited success however: The debuginfo package files from /usr/lib/debug/*/*.debug seem to be of wrong content as the backtrace generated directly from the executable does not match with the backtrace generated from the matching *.debug files. To view the backtrace files just cat them on a console (xterm, konsole, etc. -> esc-sequences).

Is this still an issue with recent servers and ati drivers?  Have you always 
had this issue with this configuration, or is this a regression from a working 
state?

will close as this report is very old.
