After installing gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.10-r6 xorg-x11 6.8.0-r4 ati-drivers 8.8.25-r3 I got a total lockup on every X logout (gnome and kde) after changing to vanilla kernel development-sources 2.6.10-r1 the lockup is gone Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: (see Details) 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: black screen no keyboard input possible no ssh login possible
I was also not able to switch to framebuffer console and back to x with gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.10-r6, this is possible as well after changing to development-sources 2.6.10-r1
Sounds like a clear kernel bug.
Did this happen on previous versions of gentoo-dev-sources?
I used 2.6.5 and 2.6.7 (gentoo-dev-sources) before without the bug. Worked with xorg 6.7 and 6.8 (old ati-drivers).
If you use the standard Xorg drivers (as opposed to the propietary ATI ones), does it still freeze on exit? Does disabling your framebuffer help? Have you tested 2.6.11-rc3?
Please reopen with info for comment #5
