Any joy ? I apparently have the same problem with my RS690. I noticed it after upgrading from 2.6.25 to 2.6.26, alongside xorg-server (1.4.99.904 to 1.4.99.905) and Mesa (7.1-rc1 to 7.1-rc3). The ATI driver is 6.9.0. Here it always freezes in a few minutes or less than an hour. When it happens, I'm not running any 3D application and the CPU is idle. I may be just typing something in a shell. But it works disabling DRI. Alt-SysRq-s/u/b is the only way. Trying with q freezes the mouse cursor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ -- _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list Dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
