dmesg when getting regular lockups

Ive tried kernels from 3.8 to 3.11 and Mesa from 9.0.2 to 9.2 and have the same set of problems.

They are intermittent, ie, sometimes the open-source driver works (like now!) and others it doesnt (like my previous boot 30 minutes ago!)

It seems to fail approx 4 out of 5 times or so.

When it doesnt work, it seems to fail in in 2 different ways:
1) regular gpu lockups (every 10 seconds) - machine is unusable
2) a single gpu lockup early in the boot which prevents dri and 3d accel, but can use 2d X

When is works ok, i have no gpu lockups and 3d accell works fine.

I will attach some logs.

with a 3.11 kernel does enabling dpm help?  Append radeon.dpm=1 to the kernel command line in grub.
Comment 6 Adam Pigg 2013-09-11 18:05:47 UTC
No, tried that and got the case where there is a sinlge problem on boot and no 3d accel.

attaching the dmesg output

I'm having similar problems which I think have the same cause (also a Llano APU).
In my case it doesn't work at all though.
