Bug#444739: xserver-xorg-video-mga: infinite loops once in a while

2007-09-30 Thread Marc Haber
Package: xserver-xorg-video-mga
Version: 1:1.9.99.dfsg.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I am running unstable on a newly installed system. Graphics card is a
Matrox G450 Dual Head, with two TFT displays connected via VGA. The
xserver-xorg-video-mga is the version from experimental.

Once in a while, the driver gets into an endless loop: X takes all
available CPU, does not react any more, and is not killable.

When SIGKILL is finally used, sometimes the entire system crashes.

This is also in upstream bugzilla, #12627.

Sorry, no dependency information as I am filing this bug from a
different system.

Greetings
Marc

Hi,

you mentioned on irc that you got lots of (EE) MGA(0): [dri] Idle timed
out, resetting engine... in the log.
One thing that would probably be worth trying is to disable dri.  To do
that, add 'Disable dri' in the Module section of xorg.conf.

Cheers,
Julien

That doesn't help.
