Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1
Severity: critical
Description of problem:
When X starts up, it goes into an infinite loop, spewing out the
following error message in the log file endlessly, until / is filled up:
(EE) RADEON(0): RADEONCPGetBuffer: CP reset -1020
(EE) RADEON(0): RADEONCPGetBuffer: CP start -1020
(EE) RADEON(0): RADEONCPGetBuffer: CP GetBuffer -1020
(EE) RADEON(0): GetBuffer timed out, resetting engine...
The full log file is attached (I delete the endless reptitions so file will be
of reasonable size).
Also attached please find the XFree86 configuration file.
Since my system is configured to start gdm upon boot-up, and since this causes
an infinite loop of error messages,
essentially the system is inoperable. I need to ssh in and kill the X server,
but then I no longer have access to the
console window on the notebook.
Software/Hardware configuration:
The system is running kernel 2.6.5-3-686 and is running on an IBM Thinkpad r32 and uses Debian unstable.
I have been running X fine until I upgraded to the newest version of the X files that include the "dfsg" extension.
I attach a file of Debian packages installed on the system which are probably
relevant in some way.
Thanks for your attention to this bug.
