Same here on smp amd64.
Still the same with 9.9-r2

system is responsive it's just ... pitch black
ati-driver-9.9-r2 doesn't fix it. And why was ati-drivers-8.8 removed?

This happens to me sometimes but I am always able to fix it by running "eselect opengl set ati"
Please note that this is a memory corruption! (look at the xorg log).
Try 2.6.31 or 2.6.28 kernels please.

Hmm: -fvisibility-inlines-hidden :D I would recomend you to live without this one. It could magicaly fix your life :]
Ok :). What else should I recompile (system would be enough? :D )
kernel/driver/xorg woudl be good start :]
(In reply to comment #18) > kernel/driver/xorg woudl be good start :] > It didn't helped. I did the following: removed f-visibility-inlines-hidden emerge -eav system recompiled kernel (make clean && make...) emerge -av1 ati-drivers emerge -av1 xorg-server I'm going to remove the LDFLAGS and redo these steps.
I did emerge -eav --onlydeps xorg-x11 and it didn't helped. It seems the flags alone aren't the fault, unless I missed something. Any more ideas? Need any more info?

I copied ati-drivers-9.8 to a local overlay. Otherwise I couldn't have posted here from my computer... And yes, old ati-drivers are working for me, so give them back to the portage. But I would still like to see the new drivers working. I can try emerge -eav world (but I don't see if it's going to help, since i did emerge -eav --onlydeps xorg-x11). If the world remerge doesn't help, I could try to upgrade gcc (which is also non-logic step). Any suggestions?
i brought drivers back. Since upstream seriously dont care about that if their driver works i am closing this as fixed since it works for you again :]
Ok.. I'll try the mentioned steps and report if those things fix it :). If they don't.. then we wait for 9.10 :D.
ati-drivers-8.660 is 9.10beta so you can try already :]
doesn't work. I'll try to cross-check the app list with my brother's computer. We'll see if thats going to help :).
Tried and didn't worked. Then I removed my second monitor and things started to work. But the second restart, it stopped working :(. But I found out another interesting thing. When I disabled the autodetection of input devices, it started the X11, but as soon as I moved the mouse, the X server crashed (and memory corruption occured). Of course, this was under ati-drivers-9.8.
(In reply to comment #27) > When I disabled the autodetection of Ups. I meant enabled...
(In reply to comment #27) > ... Of course, this was under ati-drivers-9.8. In my case, the re-appearing of the 9.8 version has solved all my problems. I was forced to use the radeon driver after the 9.8 removal. v9.9 onwards hangs my system with the infamous non-blinking cursor at the upper-left corner on a black screen. But now the birds are singing again and the sky is blue :LOL: Unfortunately I'm not on that system right now, but as soon as I get home I'll post my info. I use a tuxonice-sources-2.6.30-r5 kernel on an smp amd64-ss3 laptop. My system is almost stable with some unstable packages, most notably KDE 4.3.1 as my desktop. Apart from that, I use the stable amd64 toolchain as well as stable version of hal and dbus.

I've got some new information! When I unplug all my USB devices (USB modem, USB, keyboard, USB mouse and USB hub/switch) and start X. There is no memory corruption! So, the memory corruption could be related to Xorg (or kernel? ) But, it still freezes! And the freeze behaves like an IO lock. Cannot kill X (with -s9 switch), ssh stops accepting connections. Any time related apps block input (watch, top). Also free blocks! dmesg is 'normal' :D. I'll post the new Xorg.log file. Anyway, I'll try to upgrade my gcc to 4.4 (since my brother's computer has it, and works without problem).
Created attachment 205065 [details] The _real_ log file
Ok... Ignore my previous comment :). It's all ati-drivers. But I did notice that Xorg log gets 'corrupted' upon forced shutdown/restart. I'll give it a rest for the time being :).
well, with 9.8 you;re stuck with kernel <=2.6.30. and it is really ati-drivers-9.9. you can always try the 9.10 beta (you can find it in ubuntu karmmic). Worked fine for me although a bit tedious to install, had to copy the files one by one!
It might be a stupid suggestion .. But have you tried the revdep-rebuid tool? I have/had similar problems, the new ati-drivers also installed a new version of libxcb. This seams to break allot of packages.

This seams to break allot of packages. > libxcb is libxcb it has nothing to do with ati-drivers. besides that thing is binary what you get to build is a tiny part of the kernel module which only depends on .. the the kernel source tree.
Could you please readd ati-drivers-9.8? 9.9 or 9.10 still doesn't work. I tried to upgrade to gentoo-sources-2.6.31 and still no go.
Guys, I think I have found the issue. Try the following: Compile kernel WITHOUT MTRR support Processor type and features ---> [] MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support reboot into new kernel, then do: emerge -1v ati-drivers and reboot again. This worked for me, but it disables 3D renderding DRI support. Can somebody confirm?
