My PC lockups time to time with the both ati-drivers 8.8.25 and ati-drivers 8.10.19 drivers for my Radeon 9600XT with the xorg-x11-6.8.1.904. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: First method: 1. CTRL-ALT-F1 2. ALT-F1 After repeating steps above 1-3 times I have my PC totally locked(unable connect to the SSH, no pings) and screen colors are screwed up. Second method: 1. CTRL-ALT-DEL 2. End Session After X.org-server restart PC totally locks. Also my computer locks up when monitor goes to the suspend mode, scrren is blank and PC is locked. I don't see any reasons of the lockups in xorg's and system's logs. I've played with the fb-console on/off, played with the fglrx settings in xorg.conf and found the only one workaround that makes X-server stable is to turn off DRI(no_dry="yes"). But I don't like total acceleration loss( glxgears score dropped from 1990 FPS to the 150FPS :( ). It seems it is a problem with the ATI's DRI... $ gcc-config -l [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.4 [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.3 [3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.3-hardenednopie [4] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.3-hardenednossp [5] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.3-vanilla * $ grep hardened /etc/portage/package.use x11-base/xorg -hardened $ emerge info Portage 2.0.51-r15 (default-linux/x86/2004.2, gcc-3.4.3-vanilla, glibc-2.3.4. 20041102-r0, 2.6.10-gentoo-r7 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.10-gentoo-r7 i686 Intel(R) Celeron(TM) CPU 1100MHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.9 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.3-r1 [2.3.3 (#1, Jul 11 2004, 19:39:29) ] dev-lang/python: 2.3.3-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r2, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.7.9, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.2-r7 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/ 3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo ftp://ftp.du.se/pub/os/gentoo http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/ ftp://mirrors1.netvisao.pt/gentoo/ http:// www.gigaload.org/gentoo.org/" LANG="ru_RU.cp1251" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aalib acl activefilter alsa apache2 apm arts artswrappersuid audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth caps cdparanoia cpdflib crypt cups curl dba dhcp directfb divx4linux divxforlinux doc encode erandom esd f77 fam fbcon flac font-server foomaticdb fortran gd gd-external gdbm gif gnokii gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 guile hardened imagemagick imlib ipv6 irda jack java jpeg jpeg2k junit kde kerberos ldap libclamav libg++ libwww lirc mad mbox mikmod milter mmap mmx mmx2 motif mpeg mppe-mppc multicall mysql ncurses nls nptl ntlm oggvorbis opengl oss pam pda pdflib perl png portaudiopovray python qt quicktime quotas readline reiserfs ruby samba sasl scanner sdl sftplogging slang slp sms socks5 speex spell sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb v4l v4l2 wifi winbind wmf xine xinerama xml2 xmms xscreensaver xv zlib" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
please try the latest xorg, update your profile and attach your Xorg log and dmesg
After installing most recent xorg-x11 6.8.2 instead of 6.8.1.904, and reemerging ati-drivers 8.10.19 I have no lockups anymore.
Marked as fixed then
