[Bug 93925] Re: xserver bug: random lockups, blank/garbled screen, resolution changes
I've noticed that lspci shows the Radeon card at PCI Bus 00:0a.0 and 00:0a.1 (That is if I'm reading lspci bus output correctly). But strangely the xorg.conf file shows the card at PCI:0:10:0. That's just because lspci prints hexadecimal numbers, while xorg.conf needs decimal numbers like those returned from X -scanpci. Confusing, yes.

[Bug 93925] Re: xserver bug: random lockups, blank/garbled screen, resolution changes
I've done a fresh install of Kubuntu 7.4, yet still I'm having the same problem. My motherboard has a build in graphic card (Trident), but I'm using (and want to use) the Radeon 9250 SE graphic card. Also the Radeon card has support for running dual displays. I'm using the VGA output, not the DVI output. I've noticed that lspci shows the Radeon card at PCI Bus 00:0a.0 and 00:0a.1 (That is if I'm reading lspci bus output correctly). But strangely the xorg.conf file shows the card at PCI:0:10:0. I don't know if that's normal, and could be causing the problem, I don't know. I've done memtest several times for several hours with no errors. My RAM doesn't seem to be the problem. If there is a hardware failure it's somewhere other than RAM. Are there any other hardware tests? I did find out that the line in the xorg.conf file: Option AccelMethod EXA Was causing corruptions in the title bar, so I disabled it, but I still have the original problems. I've looked through the BIOS settings and found some related to shadowed/cached BIOS/video memory/ram. I've loaded the default setting for most (but not all) of the BIOS options, but still have the problem. I've deduced the problem must be either: 1) Malfunctioning hardware (graphic card, mother board, etc.,) . 2) Incorrect BIOS settings. 3) Incorrect xorg.conf file. 4) Malfunctioning driver. 5) Other malfunctioning system software. Kubuntu 7.4 (final not beta) has slightly different xorg.conf file, so I've attached that file with .feistyfinal extension. -- xserver bug: random lockups, blank/garbled screen, resolution changes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/93925 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

does it work any better if you remove those bogus Modes from the conf (leave only 1024x768)? -- xserver bug: random lockups, blank/garbled screen, resolution changes https://launchpad.net/bugs/93925 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 93925] Re: xserver bug: random lockups, blank/garbled screen, resolution changes
Ok, I removed all the other modes. I thought it was working until the screen went out of sync, and because I removed all the modes I wasn't able to change modes, although after a few minuets it went back to normal. Also, a little while latter it did black out on me, and I couldn't use the keyboard. I was looking through the different xorg.conf files. The one that doesn't crash, but doesn't have glx has: BusID PCI:1:0:0 Although, that was from the SystemRescue LiveCD. I had to uncomment it because it didn't work on Ubuntu. On Ubuntu I had to change it to: BusID PCI:0:10:0 The graphic card did work on Windows, so I don't know what's wrong. Maybe there's a hardware problem, or maybe the driver has a problem. -- xserver bug: random lockups, blank/garbled screen, resolution changes https://launchpad.net/bugs/93925 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ok, I ran memtest for almost 2hrs, and it did 8 full passes. Still it reported 0 errors. Are there any other hardware tests? Because apparently my ram has no problems. I was able to copy the xorg.conf file from a SystemRescue LiveCD I had. It seems not to crash, but I get this error: Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual Xlib: extension GLX missing on display :0.0.

** Description changed: Just at random the computer will either: 1) Loose the correct resolution: the monitor will read out of sync and I'll have to cycle through the resolutions with ctrl+alt++ 2) Garbled blocky colors: the screen will display a weird blocky color pattern, and usually the keyboard doesn't respond, and the system is totally locked up. 3) Abruptly lockup: randomly the computer will lockup and the keyboard will be unresponsive, but the screen looks ok, and the mouse will still move. This is a very serious error because the computer is almost completely useless because at random it will lockup and I'll have to do a hard- reboot. - I suspect it is with the Xorg drivers for the ATI card.

GRR!!! Ok, it keeps happening (5+ times in the last 30min)! And I'm trying to get work done. I've had to hard-reboot many times. Most of the time what happens is the screen goes blank (no out of sync warning), and the keyboard is unresponsive. If I can ssh in, I see that X is using 99% cpu. I try to kill Xorg with: kill -n 9 pid of xorg, but it ignores that! I've also tried: /etc/init.d/kdm restart, but it complains that it couldn't kill that either. -- xserver bug: random lockups, blank/garbled screen, resolution changes https://launchpad.net/bugs/93925 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Don't confirm your own bugs. First you need to run memtest, seems that something is wrong with your hardware.
