Bug#542382: ([drm-modules-source] ATI Mach64 Resets X on Ctrl-Alt-F1)

2009-08-20 Thread David Baron
Google if full of stuff like this for nvidia and intel drivers off and on over 
the years, and the suggestion that compiz may be the problem.

One guess: I get the log in screen several times but eventually, things will 
hang up. The three LEDs on the keyboard start flashing in unison and then I 
have to reboot. Smacks of recursion.

Bug#542382: [drm-modules-source] ATI Mach64 Resets X on Ctrl-Alt-F1

2009-08-19 Thread David Baron
Package: drm-modules-source
Version: 2.4.11+git+20090630+de1ed01-1
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
ATI Mach64 Works OK. However, any attempt to get to another session, i.e. 
control-alt-F1 to a console, will restart X. This occurs from a KDE4.3 
session, KDM login screen, etc. It may sometimes function OK once the desktop 
is completely painted and quiet.

Such a switch can hang X but that occurred with other DRMs as well, not just 
from the mach64 I compiled from this package.

The mach64 drm driver is not really supported (or maintained)... Anyway,
your report is lacking a lot of information.  Let's start with dmesg,
Xorg log and config.

Cheers,
Julien
