x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.12.2-r1freezes computer after starting X. X does not respond to any command neither they display anything (black screen).No problem indicated in X.org.*.log but I have no access to other computer to check other ways of input. x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.12.2 works ok. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.12.2 2. Restart X Actual Results: Freez Expected Results: Displaying picture (probably better ;) then before update) # paludis --info xf86-video-ati paludis 0.38.1 Paludis build information: Compiler: CXX: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ 4.4.0 CXXFLAGS: -Os -mtune=pentium-m -march=pentium-m -mfpmath=sse -pipe -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -w -ftree-vectorize -ftree-loop-optimize -ftree-loop-linear -freorder-blocks-and-partition -fgcse-sm -fgcse-las -fgcse-after-reload -ftracer -maccumulate-outgoing-args -findirect-inlining -floop-interchange -floop-block -floop-strip-mine -pedantic LDFLAGS: -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--hash-style=both -Wl,--sort-common DATE: 2009-07-15T02:20:16+0200 Libraries: C++ Library: GNU libstdc++ 20090421 Paths: DATADIR: /usr/share LIBDIR: /usr/lib LIBEXECDIR: /usr/libexec SYSCONFDIR: /etc PYTHONINSTALLDIR: /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages RUBYINSTALLDIR: /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux System: Linux notebook 2.6.31-rc4 #1 Mon Jul 27 23:51:26 BST 2009 i686 Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor 1.50GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux (...)

There are 44 patches brought in by -r1, are you game for bisecting the set to find which one kills your display...? Actually it would be good to start with posting your hardware details, so patches that only apply to other video cards can be taken off the list of suspects.

I'll try however. > Actually it would be good to start with posting your hardware details, so > patches that only apply to other video cards can be taken off the list of > suspects. > Ups. My error.

Make it boot => it crash. Reboot, interactively disable the start of Xdm. Update to the driver which works. start your X. paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old might be usefull. Used patches: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/log/?h=6.12-branch Those of interest for you: anything stating r3xx-r5xx or rv4xx also anything not specifying any card it uses.
Test as requested in above comment.
