Description freak132 2009-07-30 19:34:54 UTC
When starting X with ati-drivers/fglrx my system hardlocks, not even sshd responds. When I run Xorg -configure the output seen below. It could be ati-drivers, it could also be the fglrx interaction with glibc. 

This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation.
It is not supported in any way.
Bugs may be filed in the bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/.
Select the "xorg" product for bugs you find in this release.
Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions please check the
latest version in the X.Org Foundation git repository.
See http://wiki.x.org/wiki/GitPage for git access instructions.

Xorg.0.log output
Comment 2 James Earl Spahlinger 2009-07-30 21:02:29 UTC
Hi, Your log shows an error:

(II) LoadModule: "v4l"
(II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//v4l_drv.so
(II) Module v4l: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
	compiled for 1.5.3, module version = 0.1.1
	ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 4.1
(EE) module ABI major version (4) doesn't match the server's version (5)
(II) UnloadModule: "v4l"
(II) Unloading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//v4l_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load module "v4l" (module requirement mismatch, 0)

this is likely the cause of your issue, try re-compiling xorg-server and your drivers. Additionally I notice you are loading both the flgrx and radeonhd. Try just one? 
Comment 3 James Earl Spahlinger 2009-07-30 21:04:00 UTC
Also, sorry for the double post, it would be useful for us to have your output from 'lspci' as well. If you would attach that, that would be great.
Comment 4 freak132 2009-07-30 21:27:58 UTC
The xorg logs I posted are from an attempt at Xorg -configure. Attempting to run fglrx drivers at this point will result in a system hardlock and the logs wont be written to disk.
At the time this problem started I did not have the radeonhd drivers, they exist only to allow me to use X to some degree in the interim. 

As requested, my lcpci output.

Please try to compile 9.8 version.
Reopen the bug when you test it please.

I've had this same issue since the 9.6 release, with always a segfault on `X -configure`, and a hardlock on regular X startup with xdm

I've seen this issue all the time when the opengl profile is incorrect.
try running eselect opengl set ati and see if it works out.
Comment 13 freak132 2009-10-30 15:35:32 UTC
I am no longer having this issue. Its continued presence across several versions implied that it was a problem with my system rather than a problem with the driver. I probably used some fairly dirty and extreme measures to reocover the usability of my ati-drivers, please dont judge. If you know a better way, please suggest it. 

1) backup and remove the original xorg.conf before running ati-config
2) select the ati opengl profile
3) emerge -e ati-drivers
