Bug#363559: xserver-xorg-video-ati: system freezes on Thinkpad T42
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, well, the XSF has been warned before, and I guess they already knew the solution - - just leaves us wondering why they didn't fix it. Anyway, rebuilding xserver-xorg-video-ati with the sources from the ati-1-0-branch (from Xorg cvs /driver/xf86-video-ati) fixes the problem for me. Additionally, you might need the DRM fixes for the kernel (either take a 2.6.17 kernel or use the git-drm patches from 2.6.16-mm*). best, Torsten - -- Torsten Marek [EMAIL PROTECTED] ID: A244C858 -- FP: 1902 0002 5DFC 856B F146 894C 7CC5 451E A244 C858 Keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFETIXIfMVFHqJEyFgRAj/dAJ9PaXEurMTCzcuNHMzfAAKNyx6ugQCgjDS4 bz0Vd5HGw9kZkVp+g7FOStU= =3tvy -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Ah, great. I was wondering how something like this could slip through the cracks. Still, at some point maybe we should back up the ATI driver to the older version, if that is even possible? Or, maybe there is a manual workaround that is not much trouble? Backing up via snapshot.debian.net is a real chore in this case. -Lex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As the vesa driver is horribly slow, I decided to go with closed-source stuff until the radeon driver gets fixed. You can get it here: http://www.stanchina.net/~flavio/debian-official/fglrx-driver.html I'm sure it'll make it to sid pretty soon, but in case you don't want to wait Cheers, Carlos signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati Version: 1:6.5.7.3-3 Severity: important The current version of the ati driver causes my Thinkpad T42 to freeze a few minutes after X is started. Changing to the vesa driver causes the freezes to stop. Commenting out all loaded modules from the Module section of xorg.conf causes the freeze to take longer to happen, but it does not prevent it. Likewise, turning off hardware acceleration with the NoAccel option does not prevent the freezes (though I do not recall whether NoAccel made the freeze take longer to happen). The chipset is: (--) RADEON(0): Chipset: ATI FireGL Mobility T2 (M10) NT (AGP) (ChipID = 0x4e54) For now I have used snapshot.debian.net to downgrade to 6.8.2.dfsg.1-6 and all is well again. I have been having this problem for much or all of 2006. I believe 6.9.x already had the problem, and no update through 1:6.5.7.3-3 has fixed it.

David Nusinow already knows about this bug (although I'm sure is good to remind him :) ) Take a look to this: http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2006/03/msg00936.html We need to wait!
