Using dri and the radeon driver for ATI Radeon 9200 PRO on AMD64 freezes the system about 10 minutes after startx. There are no relevant errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/log/messages If I disable dri and glx it works (didn't freeze for at least 10 hours) but I get no 3D acceleration.

Can you give 7.0 a try instead? Take a look at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml.
(In reply to comment #1) > Can you give 7.0 a try instead? Take a look at > http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml. > Yes. But it will take some time. ;) I will be back when it is finished. Do I have to update to portage-2.1? The new portage is so slow. :( I use CDB cache at the moment.
(In reply to comment #1) > Can you give 7.0 a try instead? Take a look at > http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml. > Done. No problem, yet. After 20 minutes it runs fine. I report if it fails. But some other apps are missing/not working. :( revdep-rebuild seems to fix only some of them.

It still fails using DRI. But after half an hour. And it works with only glx.
(In reply to comment #5) > (In reply to comment #3) > > But some other apps are missing/not working. :( revdep-rebuild seems to fix > > only some of them. > > What isn't working, and what error messages do you get? > 1. Scroll Lock lamp on keyboard truns on every now and then without reason. 2. driconf don't have the right deps. It needs to bring in x11-apps/xdriinfo but don't. 3. See my comment (#6) above.
OK, go ahead and file two separate bugs at bugs.freedesktop.org for the scroll lock and the dri lockup, in the xorg product for scroll lock and the DRI product for the lockup. Attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf to each, then post the URLs here. And actually driconf already depends on xdriinfo -- if it's not getting pulled in, and you don't have virtual/x11 installed, that'll need a new portage bug to get filed. Thanks!
Created attachment 81205 [details] xorg.conf that makes computer lock up This is the xorg.conf that makes the computer lock up using Modular X. When I commented out the line Load "dri" it works. The lockups using Modular X are more rare than the lockups using monolithic XOrg.

Sorry
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6111 is the bug for the crash
The Scroll Lock error is fixed xkeyboard-config of later version than the one in Portage: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5635 >It seems I've fixed it by adding ScrollLock into the list of virtual_modifiers >in types/level5 (yeah, just added it there - without any actual use!). The bad >thing is that I do not really understand why it helps. At this time, I don't >have much time to investigate it more - so explanations are welcome ;)
Reopening for that issue -- we'll add a patch.
(In reply to comment #13) > Reopening for that issue -- we'll add a patch. > What about the crash issue then?
Separate bug we don't have a fix for. As this bug actually covers a couple of separate bugs, looks like I'll be re-closing and re-opening it.
(In reply to comment #15) > Separate bug we don't have a fix for. As this bug actually covers a couple of > separate bugs, looks like I'll be re-closing and re-opening it. > Ok.
Fixed xkeyboard-config for scroll lock, re-resolving upstream for freeze.
(In reply to comment #17) > Fixed xkeyboard-config for scroll lock, re-resolving upstream for freeze. > Not realy: Now it's allways off. It should toggle the LED not make it be turned off all the time.
