If DRI is enabled, any OpenGL app more complicated than glxgears is likely to lock up on my Acer TravelMate 6292. OS is Fedora 7, but I have repeated the crash with the combination of: * xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-13.fc7 and xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.1.0-1.fc7 (FC7 updates-testing) * Mesa 7.0 (rebuilt mesa-libGL) * DRI GIT kernel pieces as of Mon Aug 6 18:33:29 2007 +1000
Created attachment 11082 [details] Xorg log file
Examples of apps that will cause a lockup: compiz, any rss-glx screensaver, Google Earth... Sometimes the lockup isn't total - Xorg will crash, GDM tries to restart it, it will crash again (the driver's ringbuffer is corrupt?), GDM tries to restart, ad nauseaum... In either case, a reboot is the only thing that gives me back control.
Same problem exists on a Sony Vaio VGN-CR11s under Fedora 7. (Well, that's my brand new notebook and I wanted to play a nice game of OpenArena, but then this bug bit me... )
Updating to the following packages makes DRI work for me. PageFlip must be turned off, though -- with it on, the display is corrupted. kernel-2.6.22.4-65.fc7 (fedora updates) mesa-libGL-7.1pre-0.37.20070802git.fc7.hughsie (utopia repo) libdrm-2.3.1-1.30.20070812git.fc7.hughsie (utopia repo) xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.1.1-3 (rebuild from the src.rpm at koji)
I have the same bug in an up-to-date Ubuntu Hardy system. It is a Vaio NR11Z/S Random crashes of the whole system (I think the kernel is not crashed, but I cannot do anything but hard-reboot). The package I'm trying to run is VMD, an OpenGL molecular graphics program. I have put all my log files in this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/248363
Closing due to inactivity. Reopen if this is still a problem. (You probably didn't get any feedback because you filed it in the wrong section.)
