[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 373968] Re: [RV280] glyph corruption and occasional X lockup on radeon 9200 se
Just a quick update. I am still running Jaunty at the present time. I'm pretty busy at the current moment and haven't had time to upgrade to Karmic. I have been working through the AGP modes in xorg.conf. I am up to 4 (tried 1 2, but not 8). This has been more stable for me, which is to say that it has been failing just as often but not as badly. At settings of 1 and 2 the whole machine would be unusable until a restart. I could ssh in (very slowly) and issue the reboot command, but nothing else helped. With a setting of four I get the same kind of lockups, but occasionally can Ctrl+Alt+F1 my way out and restart gdm. If that doesn't work (often the keyboard is completely unresponsive in this case, ie no numlock response) I have been pretty reliably been able to ssh in. A restart of gdm has been all that I have required to get back up and running at AGP mode 4. This suggests to me that 4 may be the right mode, but that an underlying problem still exists with the driver. I'll have a go at Karmic when I get a chance. Sorry about the delays. -- [RV280] glyph corruption and occasional X lockup on radeon 9200 se https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/373968 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

You problem is that you have enabled DFS (DownloadFromScreen) which is not stable in AGP mode. You can try to disable UTS/DFS in xorg.conf device section.

[This is an automatic notification.] A new version of the -ati driver is now available in Karmic. This is a significant update to -ati which brings in kernel mode-setting (currently disabled) and scores of fixes for DRI2, EXA, etc. I've posted the new version of this driver to the following PPA, would you mind testing it and seeing if it resolves the bug you reported? https://edge.launchpad.net/~bryceharrington/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/709908 /+listing-archive-extra If you're not running this release of Ubuntu, you can try booting the Karmic LiveCD and loading the PPA onto it, and then log out/in to restart X. ISOs are available at http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/ After testing Karmic, report back here whether it's still an issue or not, and if it is please post a fresh Xorg.0.log and 'dmesg' output. Note there could be new bugs... please file these as new reports using the command 'ubuntu-bug xorg'. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- [RV280] glyph corruption and occasional X lockup on radeon 9200 se https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/373968 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

Do you have an AGP system? If so, does it help if you try some different AGPMode values? (1,2,4,8) Please check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks#ATI%20AGP%20Mode%20Quirk and report back if it helps. Also, if you can, please check if you can reproduce this on Ubuntu Karmic. LiveCD's of the alpha-3 release are available from http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- [RV280] glyph corruption and occasional X lockup on radeon 9200 se https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/373968 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

Aha! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367051 would seem to be another instance of this. My Graphics card is Radeon 1300X. I've been getting the occasional X lockups too. -- [RV280] glyph corruption and occasional X lockup on radeon 9200 se https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/373968 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
