The Xorg.0.log with the backtrace at the end

I'm using Debian testing. It's coming with Xorg version 7.6. The version of the radeon driver is 6.14.4.

The graphic card is a HD 4350. With previous version of radeon/ati driver (v6.14.3) everything worked fine. Attached to this you will find the log from X during start up, the xorg.conf.

Is there something I can try to set? I need DRI on because without it I can't use the integrated TV-card and playing videos with "mplayer" does not work on full screen.

Comment 1 Alex Deucher 2012-04-26 10:47:40 UTC

Any reason you are not using KMS?  UMS is not really supported any more.  Please make sure the radeon kernel module is loaded in KMS mode before starting X.

Comment 2 Andreas Theofilu 2012-04-27 01:22:02 UTC

I just wasn't aware of that. Switched now to KMS and everything works as expected. The reported error is gone and DRI is working again.
Many thanks for that hint. And I'll mark this bug as solved.

Comment 3 Michel Dänzer 2012-05-01 01:20:18 UTC

It is a bug, but it won't be fixed unless someone provides at least a proper gdb backtrace of the crash.

Comment 4 Michel Dänzer 2012-05-03 06:43:32 UTC

Hopefully fixed in current xf86-video-ati Git, reopen if not.
