Xorg.log from one freeze session

O.k, but there is one difference: With MergedFB (#7154) the freezes seem to be unrelated to screen depth. They happen whether you use 24bit or 16bit. This ("full-screen") bug, so far, only happened with 24bit so far (and I'm not using MergedFB). > The log file actually looks like the server is trying to shut down > though? Hopefully, I took the right log file... I just restarted the computer after the last freeze and took the one called Xorg.0.log.old. But maybe I mixed something up... Next time I will take more care. (However, I don't know how many "orphan inodes deleted" and "fsck has detected problems on the disk and requires a reboot" messages I can still bear to see :-( ). But as long as there is no real method to diagnose system freezes, there certainly is no easy method to come up with a problem solution, I guess. At least so far, this certainly bears to many similarities with #7154 :-( Thanks for your time and your work, Michel! I really like the power of this small graphics card. It's certainly powerful enough for all I need, even google earth runs fast enough ! Should be strong enough also for xgl, I guess. But at the moment I'd really like to switch my graphics card adapter to something with less bugs. This is, if it weren't a laptop with integrated graphics ;-) The freezes can be avoided when using xserver-xorg-video-ati-6.5.7.3-3. The bug only appears with 6.5.8.0-1. |

System: Thinkpad X31, ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY, Debian unstable, Xorg 7.0.20, ATI driver 6.5.8.0-1 Using screen depth of 24bit, dri disabled, starting the game lbreakout, pressing repeatedly the "f" key (switches between window and full-screen 640x480 mode) reliably freezes the system completely (no ssh, no SysRQ Keys). The screen shows horizontal lines and a square in the middle (sorry, no screenshot). Using 16bit screen depth gives no problems at all. Disabling or Enabling DynamicClocks does not have any effect on this.
