Using startx for a Gnome2 session, this release functions fine on an ATI 7850 2GB until exiting X via logout/shutdown or transitioning to a console whereupon it hard locks the system (no SysRq functionality and display signal is lost). This is with x11-base/xorg-server-1.13.1 ONLY with the beta11 build, the prior 11_beta build which was removed for this release as a revision bump continues to work fine which I've had to move into a local overlay since it was removed. Please consider bringing back 12.11_beta which does function stable here and changing 12.11_beta11's stable status. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge x11-drivers/ati-drivers-12.11_beta11 2.start X 3.Exit X or transition via alt-f1-8 hotkeys to tty console Actual Results: Xorg log shows no errors upon switch to console hang. Exiting X shows the following at the end of the log: (EE) fglrx(0): PPLIB: swlPPLibNotifyEventToPPLib() failed! (EE) fglrx(0): ulEventType = 00000023, ulEventData = 00000001 System becomes entirely unresponsive needing power cycle / hard reset. Expected Results: Stable X session exit, transitions to console display normally. I will attach emerge --info x11-drivers/ati-drivers, an example Xorg.0.log and my existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf generated by aticonfig.

The pplib_notify_event error never occurs. I have not rebuilt X.Org since kernel 3.6.11, if that would somehow matter. Searching for this pplib event seemed a common occurrence in the past affecting these drivers on various distros. I ended up writing a quick script, -- #!/bin/sh HLIGHT=`echo -e '/033[33m'` NORMAL=`echo -e '/033[0m'` for OUT in $(equery f ati-drivers); do if [ -f OUT ]; then echo "$HLIGHT $OUT$NORMAL" strings $OUT | grep -i $1 fi done -- to determine that aticonfig, fglrx.ko, atieventsd, fglrx_drv.so and libfglrxdrm.so were using this static built library, 'PowerPlay'. This driver change is causing a hang during DPMS energy saving kicking on as well. It appears to be responsible for various power states and fan control. The 12.11_beta11 driver otherwise seems to function as expected apart from these severe issues. The dependency graph only shows an addition of virtual/glu and app-arch/unzip between 12.11_beta and 12.11_beta11. I'm at a loss at what further to check. Any ideas or anyone else similarly affected?
x11-drivers/ati-drivers-13.1 marked recent stable compiled against kernel 3.7.10 seem to have resolved the issues. Thanks.
Marking as fixed per comment 5
