Xorg.log with backtraces

I was trying a game last week, but suddenly the screen froze and it went blank for a few seconds, but kept freezing and blanking. In the background the game continued running. I was able to switch to the console and kill X to get the screen back.

I noticed X gave some backtraces in the log. Find those attached.

I first encountered it in the game Valyria Tear, but later I was told by someone that this bug also surfaces in OpenArena (screencast of the bug can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiv94VYlHZU ). I was able to confirm this on my system as well.

My system is a Gentoo Linux, arch is AMD64 (native, so no 32bit support), Radeon HD 3450 card and the 7.0.0 version of the Xorg ati drivers. My system is setup for debugging (gdb, strace present. Most stuff compiled with debug info), so if more info is required I'm willing to provide them (do give instructions on how to obtain them).

Is this a recent regression?  Might be related to bug 50655.  Can you confirm and try the patches there?

Comment 2 Alex Deucher 2012-12-10 16:24:09 UTC

Please also attach your dmesg output after the freezes occur.

syslog messages

Here is the output from the syslog (during the freeze).

I'll have a look at the other bug later.

Trying the patch gives me during building the following error:

  CC     r600_state_common.o
r600_state_common.c: In function 'r600_draw_vbo':
r600_state_common.c:1223:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'r600_atom_dirty'
gmake[4]: *** [r600_state_common.o] Error 1

Changing it to rctx->framebuffer.atom.dirty = true; did build it, but the bug is still present in my case.

I installed Warsow this morning and that also gives me the same issue. I think it is the same bug as in #50655.
