Bug 151966 – ati-drivers-8.27.10-r1: Lockup using dual-head

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description Florian Demski 2006-10-19 08:36:51 UTC]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #111833 +++

The same for me as in Bug #111833 --- except I use ATI drivers. It happened after updating xorg-x11 from 7.0 to 7.1.

Reproducible: Always
To make it short: When leaving X or switching VTs, the screens go blank (the monitors are going to powersave mode) and the machine does not respond anymore. No entries in syslog or Xorg.0.log so far.

Updates that run yesterday:
glib 2.10.3 -> 2.12.4
util-macros 1.1.0 -> 1.1.1
glproto 1.4.7 -> 1.4.8
xorg-serrver 1.0.2-r7 -> 1.1.1r1
xf86-input-evdev 1.0.0.5 -> 1.1.2-r2
xf86-video-ati 6.5.8.0 -> 6.6.3 to
xf86-input-mouse 1.0.4 -> 1.1.1 to 
xf86-input-keyboard 1.0.1.3 -> 1.1.0
cairo 1.0.4 -> 1.0.4-r1
gtk+ 2.8.20-r1 -> 2.8.19
java-config-wrapper-0.12-r1
java-config-2.0.30
java-config-1.3.7 
sun-jdk-1.5.0.08
blackdown-jre 1.4.2.03 -> 1.4.2.03-r13
db 4.2.52_p2-r1 -> 4.2.52_p4-r2
neon 0.26.1 -> 0.26.1-r1
xorg-x11 7.0-r1 -> 7.1
xmessage-1.0.1
fontforge 20050502 -> 20060703-r1
Some updates are not in this list, because I do not expect any relationship to the problems basing on them.

I re-emerged the ati-drivers after these updates.

Thank you,

Florian

Hmm.. when I leave X or switch to a VT, my monitors are black too, but there's no lockup, I can still switch to X with alt+f7 or in case I killed X, I can type startx (gotta do it blind though) - could you try that?

Please post your xorg.conf.

Are you saying this is happening with the open source drivers or the closed source?

Should be the closed source drivers.

Switching with alt+f7 does not work. I did also alt+f1 and tried logging in. No entry so far in syslog.

[Comment 5 Luca Barbato 2006-10-20 06:43:15 UTC]

Hopefully will be fixed in a newer release.
