No idea what could be causing this. I do suggest however you took a look at the stabilization list in bug 251832. It'll fetch the latest ~arch ebuilds, maybe that'll help a bit, who knows. That's all I can say right now. If you keep getting more crashes, you might want to file a bug over at FreeDesktop.org. If you do, please paste the url here so we can track it. Thanks I'll do that. Thanks! Do you have "EXAVSync" "on" in your device options? I had the same problem with an x700 mobility and removing that line seems to have solved it. I run full ~x86. I run completely without xorg.conf at the moment, so I'm not sure what is set. Could you update your driver to 6.11.0 and let us know if you have any improvements with this one? Thanks (In reply to comment #5) > Could you update your driver to 6.11.0 and let us know if you have any > improvements with this one? > > Thanks > Not sure who you're replying to, but the problem persists with 6.11.0 as well for me. Removing "EXAVSync" "on" from xorg.conf seems to help, as I haven't had a lockup since, but that may well be temporary. For me, if I run KDE 3.5 with >=xf86-video-ati-6.9.0 (with EXAVSync), with the 2.6.28 kernel modules 'drm' and 'radeon', I get a soft lockup after running either konsole or konqueror almost immediately (and probably other things), but I can still issue ssh commands and sysrq+k. If I try it without the kernel modules, the lockup does not allow sysrq commands or an existing ssh session to do anything. In the first case, the mouse still moves sluggishly accross the screen, and not at all in the second case. None of these cases output anything to any log (messages, dmesg or Xorg.0.log) I tried. At the moment, I'm running ~x86 with the x11 overlay, without the EXAVSync option but with EXA. The entirety of my xorg.conf is this (and only the EXAVSync option seems to have made any difference): Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" DisplaySize 370 278 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "ati" VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" BoardName "Radeon Mobility X700 (PCIE)" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "DynamicClocks" "off" Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" Option "AccelDFS" "on" Option "ColorTiling" "on" Option "EnablePageFlip" "on" # Option "EXAVSync" "on" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Virtual 2800 2100 EndSubSection EndSection Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection (In reply to comment #6) >=xf86-video-ati-6.9.0 that's >=xf86-video-ati-6.10.0, sorry As I'm not familiar with the ati driver (I only just started looking at it) and don't really intend to be more, I strongly urge you to read this document [1] and file a bug in FreeDesktop's bugzilla. Of course, this is an Intel document so you'll have to change a few things, but the procedure is the same. If you do open a bug, please paste the url here so that we can keep track of it. Thanks Thanks for the link, using git-bisect as it suggested revealed that the offending commit is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/commit/?id=4d98acbca2e630056bf56cdcd0e23007fded2ced . I'll file a bugreport in a while at the freedesktop tracker. Let's track this upstream then. Thanks Many thanks for getting deep into the issue! Well, that was resolved quick.. seems that our issues aren't related after all. Watching http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18664 for changes instead might be better. I'll upgrade to latest and see if I can reproduce this with any reliability. I now use x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-0.12.1 and I still get random freezes. I now disabled VSync in KDE4 systemsettings as hinted at by http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20351 (sorry for teh fragment posts - I'll report back, if I get another crash. If you don't hear from me in at most a week, disabling VSync can be used as workaround) |
Since I installed =x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.10.0 (along with all dependencies - see additional info) I experience random freezes which can only be resolved by abusing my computers power button (kernel keys don't work (ctrl-alt-f13-b)). I didn't yet try to reproduce it, since I fear that my disk/filesystem might suffer some serious damage if my computer freezes too often. I already had unaccessible and undeletable (but luckily movable) files two times after a freeze.
