I believe many of the issues mentioned here are either bug #60288 (crashes with DRI) or bug #67487 (Ati AGP speed) for which there are some workarounds or test packages. Can you please take a look on those? If you still think your problem is not a duplicate, please attach more information like Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Needs Info -- Screensaver freezes on Dapper (ATI Radeon 8500 LE) https://launchpad.net/bugs/38181 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 38181] Re: Screensaver freezes on Dapper (ATI Radeon 8500 LE)
I can confirm that this problem still exists on the edgy eft. I have a fresh install of 6.10 and am using a Matrox G550 AGP card with default xorg drivers. I get this problem when selecting certain screensavers in Screensaver Preferences. Most screensavers do not give any preview and instead hang the Screensaver Preferences window after a while. If this screensaver remains selected and is activated when machine is idle it results in a complete hanging of the system only fixed by doing a cold boot. Fortunately the screensaver can be reset to blank-only with gconf-editor. Maybe I have been unlucky, but the only screensaver I have managed to get to work is the FiberLamp one, although I have not done thorough testing. Hope you guys solve it soon. -- Screensaver freezes on Dapper (ATI Radeon 8500 LE) https://launchpad.net/bugs/38181 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hmm. I just woke up to a hung system, even though I disabled all GL screensaver hacks. Must have been ZSNES then (it was in one of the OGL modes). Guess I'll have to disable 3D accelleration altogether again :( Darn, just when I thought it finally worked again in Edgy.. -- Screensaver freezes on Dapper (ATI Radeon 8500 LE) https://launchpad.net/bugs/38181 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 38181] Re: Screensaver freezes on Dapper (ATI Radeon 8500 LE)
Ah, I've finally found the right bug # for this. This problem has been around for a long time for me, and still prevents me from using 3D screensavers. Other GL apps seem to work okay, although I haven't tested this a lot. Both the xscreensaver-demo previews and the actual screensaving freeze the system randomly. Sometimes it takes longer, sometimes shorter, but eventually they all freeze the system. No ctrl-alt-key combination works to get a clean shutdown, only the reset or power-off buttons work. My videocard is identified as a ATI Radeon 9200 SE (RV280). Package versions are from current Feisty (==Edgy, since it's only been a few days since that release).

[Bug 38181] Re: Screensaver freezes on Dapper (ATI Radeon 8500 LE)
Edgy became a release candidate and this bug is still wide open! The only way to get rid of those freezes is to comment out Load "dri" in xorg.conf. Maybe this should be the default for all modern ATI cards as a workaround?

The modifications in xorg.conf as suggested by @Ste_it do not help for a ATI X700 (RV410) Any application that requires 3D, including screensavers, glxgears and even glxinfo, will freeze the system instantaneous.

For those on i386 machines, do the binaries mentioned at: http://64.71.152.24/ make any difference -- running any GL based screensaver used to lock up my ATI boxes solid. Using a non-GL screensaver (like gnome feet) used to delay the problem, but using Mozilla after the tenth tab, or any use of Evolution for that matter used to kill it. With the binaries mentioned on that webpage, i've not had a lockup using Dapper for over three weeks (as opposed to 2-4 hours without them, or whenever the screensaver kicked in.) -- Screensaver freezes on Dapper (ATI Radeon 8500 LE) https://launchpad.net/bugs/38181 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ati 9550. Some 3D Screensavers after while freezes the System (Dapper). Not only in full screen, but also in setting of screen savers. Time to freeze is quite random from several seconds to several minutes. The only way to to end this is a reeboot. -- Screensaver freezes on Dapper (ATI Radeon 8500 LE) https://launchpad.net/bugs/38181 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have an ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 (M6 LY) in my laptop. Some times I can go for hours before my machine hard freezes but it does eventually no matter what I do. If I right after logon start Evolution it is almost 100% certain the machine freezes while trying to draw the window on the exact same space. I've tried the settings from @Ste_it above but with no luck.

Using the "radeon" driver, not the "fglrx" driver from ati, I had to add these options to the device section to get xv and 3d output for my video card (radeon 9100): Option "MergedXinerama" "false" Option "MergedFB" "false" Greg Fawcett wrote: > I have an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro (RV 250) which had the > same symptoms - 3D > applications would hard freeze.

I have an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro (RV 250) which had the same symptoms - 3D applications would hard freeze. I can still ssh into the box from another machine, but killing X did nothing, so I think the freeze is actually the video card.
