I have never been able to get the closed source (boo!) ATI drivers to play nicely with the Xorg server - they always segv at startup. This is with a 2.8.1 kernel with 8K stacks enabled. Steps to reproduce: 1) Install the ATI driver RPM for 4.3.0 2) Build the ATI kernel module. 3) Select ATI driver. 4) run startx. Expected results: X should start. Actual results: X segv's at start in mPicture_Init.
Created attachment 819 [details] Log file showing segv This is a log of attempting to start with the proprietary drivers.
Created attachment 820 [details] x.org config file used for that run This is the config file for that run.
Additional info - this build of X was from a CVS pull of a couple of hours ago (ca. 15:00 CDT Sept 3 2004.) Also, after this run, attempting to fall back to the Free driver locks the machine up at startup.
could you look at the workaround in #1282 and see if that's the same issue? if so, could you also figure out which of the options is at fault? hopefully it's just one option causing the problem.
I'm not sure what "workaround" you are referring to - all I saw in bug #1282 was the statement that "it was the GLX module". Are you suggesting disabling the loading of the GLX module, and/or the other modules beyond the driver?
I think he's referring to <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=1282#c6">this comment</a>.
reporter: ping.
The lastest X, and the latest fglrx driver from ATI do not show this behavior.
