I've heard that there is a problem with synaptics under it and ati driver, try to use vesa driver and see how it will works I can confirme, that the problem disappeared after replacing the ati driver in xorg.conf by the vesa driver. At least, if I don't use the synaptics driver. In the next days I will test, if the vesa driver works together withe the synaptics dirver. Juergen Also might be worth trying the synaptics driver compiled with vanilla specs gcc. > ati-drivers-8.23.7
remove this buggy driver and use the opensource one xf86-media-ati.
Where can I find xf86-media-ati, it is not in portage? Do you mean xf86-video-ati? Juergen yes, sorry for typo. Here is a 'known' bugs in the RELEASE NOTES from ATI: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.24.8.html#178982 Running two X servers simultaneously results in the system failing to respond. Further details can be found in topic number 737-220 Toggling between console mode and X Server graphical mode may result in a system hang. Further details can be found in topic number 737-22058 A system hang may occur when attempting to resume from hibernation mode. Further details can be found in topic number 737-22059 and more in the link above. Close the bug if you are using ati-driver. I'd like you to unmask the latest xorg-server, xf86-video-ati and xf86-input-mouse and give those a shot. Also unmask xf86-input-evdev and give that a try instead of mouse. |
