Description Dima Ryazanov 2006-04-28 13:09:58 UTC

I'm using xorg-server-1.0.99.901-r1 with Radeon driver, xf86-video-ati-6.6.0.

Very often, when switching to another VT and then coming back to X (or even switching from one X to another), X freezes or sometimes crashes:

  (EE) RADEON(0): Memory map already initialized

  Fatal server error:
  AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0

I will attach the complete log.

Please report back with the results on xorg-server 1.1 and ati driver 6.6.1; reopen when you reply. Also it would be helpful if you could make sure you have a DRM (direct rendering manager) from a very recent kernel, e.g. 2.6.17.
