Wow, such a long comment/thread page. I have a ATI 9200 SE 64MB AGP, and it will only run nexuiz for like 15 secs or so, then freeze at the splash screen. But on debian lenny which uses an older kernel and xorg it would run fine. I have read the entire comments and I see that certain kernels for some video cards fix it or make it less frequent or also downgrading the xorg to 1.52. But, the whole point I thought of me having new software was to fix security vulernabilities, speed improvements, and better compatibility. I am going to be trying to disable the composite, xaa, and etc tonight then post back here how that works for me.

Then there must be more than one bug causing a freeze. The one that can be provoked by the script under the current jauty kerneln and was obviously fixed in kernels 2.6.29.2 .4 .5 and .6 and 2.6.31-020631rc5. Kernels in between may have reintroduced the bug, as Juhuu stated (or Juhuu's freezes came from the other bug)...

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 348332] Re: [RV250] Kubuntu: X Freezes with Radeon driver EXA/XAA Composite
Your summarization are IMO right, Jonas. I am not quite sure that the bug is really fixed in the stated kernel-versions. The bug just does not appear when using it, right? Maybe thats just a coincidence!? My point is, that the X-Server freezes with the jaunty-kernel 2.6.28 and nobody could yet specify what is causing this freezes. Furthermore, nobody could specify which change in the kernel-history fixed the problem. Julien Cristau from the Debian-team said [1] that this sounds like a gpu lockup. I am not an expert on this subject but this may be caused by a bug in a kernel-driver as well as in the radeon-driver or xorg itself. Regarding the second bug which is still existant when using 2.6.29 the question is the same: Which code is causing this freeze? Should we open another bug report for the second bug which is not reproducible by Jonas' script?

Apparently your instructions do not work for me. Did your X crash or freeze? So I basically can imagine 4 reasons why this instructions work for you but not for me: 1) You experience a different bug than I am (maybe because you have different hardware) 2) Your software-setup is different 3) Your configuration is different 4) I am not suffering from this bug anymore I tested your instructions with Composite enabled and disabled in my xorg.conf but X never crashed or freezed. Although my xorg did not crash at all since I disabled Composite. But maybe thats just by chance. ** Attachment added: Output of lspci -v http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28632752/lspci.txt -- [RV250] Kubuntu: X Freezes with Radeon driver EXA/XAA Composite https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348332 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

@maestro_alubia Is anyone able to give such instructions for reproducing this bug? I have a way of reproducing the bug in Kubuntu: Right click on the 'K-Menu' and select Menu Editor. Select an item that has an icon. Then click on the icon button to reveal the icon selection window. Select the other icons radio button. Press the browse button Then my installation crashes every time.

This is definitely not a Kubuntu/Kwin/Composite-only bug. On Gnome (with Composite/Compiz disabled), this bug occurs the same (unless DRI is also disabled). With PPA kernel 2.6.29-02062904-generic (and DRI re-enabled), this bug SEEMS SOLVED (after 10 min.

Jason, does xrandr not allow to disable the tv output? So xrandr -q lists your outputs on the card, eg TV-0, then to disable it: xrandr --output TV-0 --off If this works, you can add it to xorg, see xrandr man and wiki http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Projects/XRandR -- [RV250] Kubuntu: X Freezes with Radeon driver EXA/XAA Composite https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348332 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

kubuntu, 9.04. The kernel in jaunty proposed did not remove the freeze for me. AMD64, I got the freeze after less than 15 min only typing text in kate (desktop effects enabled). Installed the 2.6.29.4 kernel ( 2.6.29-02062904-generic) and all is working like a charm now. Figuring out how to set up xrandr to have a dual head setup (no more xinerama, and bigdesktop was fglrx only) was more difficult, but now also that is working like a charm with KDE4! -- [RV250] Kubuntu: X Freezes with Radeon driver EXA/XAA Composite https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348332 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 348332] Re: [RV250] Kubuntu: X Freezes with Radeon driver EXA/XAA Composite
It seems that upgrading the Kernel to 2.6.29 only helps with certain chips newer than RV250.. it help'd with a Radeon 9600 pro that I used from a friend wich is a RV300 I think.. , but freezes still remains with my Radeon 7000, it wont even boot to the Desktop it freezes or go's black right after KDM.. My Radeon 7000 has a TV in TV out built in... The only way it wont Freez is if I put Option NoDRI in my xorg.conf I really tried almost everything with that Card, with no success! except NoDRI.. Is there a way to disable the TV tuner in xorg? thats probably the only option I didnt try.. Christian Neumair that would be great :-) even though I just order'd me new Hardware with a AMD 740G chip in it because I am not able to work with my PC, I will still help out to find this VERY annoing bug with my at the moment X unfriendly Hardware..:-) What info do you need? -- [RV250] Kubuntu: X Freezes with Radeon driver EXA/XAA Composite https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348332 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 348332] Re: [RV250] Kubuntu: X Freezes with Radeon driver EXA/XAA Composite
Its my first time submitting a bug report so i hope i'm not leaving out any required details. I'm running ubuntu 9.04, installed it on a formatted drive. In 8.10 i never had any freezes with the flgrx drivers. But since im using 9.04 i have occasional freezes when im using simple programs and switching desktops. Only a hard reboot fixes it. Unfortunately the flgrx drivers that worked perfectly under 8.10 do not support my x1950 in jaunty. Therefore i am using the default radeon drivers. If i launch a 3d game like Nexuiz it will always freeze within 10-15 seconds. Nothing responds anymore and i have to reset the computer. I tried reinstalling 9.04 but the problem occured again. I havent had a single freeze in 8.10 or windows for years. Its only ubuntu 9.04 giving me a hard time. I didnt change anything to the graphical settings btw. I will check back here soon if there are requests to post any additional information. This bug is very critical to me. I lost quite a bit of work when a freeze occured on the desktop. Not being able to use 3d applications like Nexuiz is quite hard too. I'm quite sure the bug is not related to this game since i tried the same version on 8.10 with no problems at all. kind regards, Bram -- [RV250] Kubuntu: X Freezes with Radeon driver EXA/XAA Composite https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348332 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
