Hi folks, Just another datapoint for this bug.

Is this the same for the other people suffering from this bug? It might be an issue with the OF framebuffer, or the attempt to restore the framebuffer when X terminates or VT switches. IME, ofonly doesn't come back when you end X, but previously you just got a black screen rather than a lockup. Regards, Roger -- .''`.

Option DRI False Option BusType PCI Option AGPMode 4 Trying either of the three options doesn't help; the same hard freeze occurs on logout. Option AGPMode 8 My X log states that 8 is not a supported value for AGPMode (even though I read on Wikipedia that the Radeon 9200 should support 8x AGP), so this doesn't help either, alas. I am also having random freezes when opening a second display, doing some work on it, and closing the display. Not fully reproducible, seems that just opening and closing did not (yet) trigger the problem. Only once my main display got frozen. Cannot even switch to other display when this happens. Just wanted to add that I can recover control with the Magic SysRq+k, that allows me switch to other display and resume work in it. After sysrq+k and before switching display looks frozen, but allows me switching. Some rubbish appears in the old display after switching back. So at least here, seems to not be a full machine lock up, I am sending this mail after that.

So I cannot use this version... I assume earlier versions have the same bug? No, I think #457563 appeared in 6.7.197 and was not in 6.7.196 or earlier. Okay, after some experimenting I have found that 1:6.6.193-2 is the newest version which doesn't cause the lockups, and the version after that, 1:6.7.191-1, causes the system to freeze -- either by stopping X or by starting a second one. So something went wrong from 1:6.6.193-2 to 1:6.7.191-1. How do I debug this further? You could try git bisect to track down the change that caused the problem. Unfortunately, the changes between 6.6.19x and 6.7.19x are substantial (much of the driver was restructured) and it may be hard to track down.

Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati Version: 1:6.7.198~git20080117.6bd510a2-1 Severity: important Hello there, I have a PowerPC Mac Mini with a Radeon 9200 inside, and did a fresh install of Debian Sid on that. I got bitten by bug #457563, where starting X would instantaneously freeze the machine, but upgrading to the latest experimental version of xserver-xorg-video-ati fixed that, as suggested. However, I now have the problem that the machine freezes when the X server is stopped... Just a hard freeze when I try to logout, or shutdown the machine, or restart gdm; anything that kills the X server causes the entire machine to lock up. My Xorg.0.log contains no information about stopping X. The same freeze occurs when I try to start a second X, via X :1, and an Xorg.1.log is never created.

My Xorg.0.log contains no information about stopping X. Do any of the following device options help? Option DRI False Option BusType PCI Option AGPMode 4 Trying either of the three options doesn't help; the same hard freeze occurs on logout. Option AGPMode 8 My X log states that 8 is not a supported value for AGPMode (even though I read on Wikipedia that the Radeon 9200 should support 8x AGP), so this doesn't help either, alas.

I got bitten by bug #457563, where starting X would instantaneously freeze the machine, but upgrading to the latest experimental version of xserver-xorg-video-ati fixed that, as suggested. However, I now have the problem that the machine freezes when the X server is stopped... Just a hard freeze when I try to logout, or shutdown the machine, or restart gdm; anything that kills the X server causes the entire machine to lock up.

So I cannot use this version... I assume earlier versions have the same bug? No, I think #457563 appeared in 6.7.197 and was not in 6.7.196 or earlier. Okay, after some experimenting I have found that 1:6.6.193-2 is the newest version which doesn't cause the lockups, and the version after that, 1:6.7.191-1, causes the system to freeze -- either by stopping X or by starting a second one. So something went wrong from 1:6.6.193-2 to 1:6.7.191-1. How do I debug this further? Bram -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

So something went wrong from 1:6.6.193-2 to 1:6.7.191-1. Unfortunately, 6.6.193-6.7.191 is where lots of things have been reworked to add RandR 1.2 support, so this is not going to be easy. git-bissect'ing the old randr-1.2 branch of the upstream git repository could help. But you will have to be motivated to do that :) Maybe somebody else among the developers will have a better idea first.
