I'm the user who originally reported the bug in the forums. I was going to log a bug myself, but someone beat me to it ... unfortunately getting some important details wrong.
This bug most certainly also affects XAA ( which I did clearly note in the forums ). Could someone PLEASE at least rename this bug and remove the 'with EXA enabled' bit. Alternatively I can enter a separate bug for the default ( XAA ) case. > I declined the Intrepid task since we do not ship EXA turned on by default, due to concerns about bugs like this one. Frankly I'm a bit perplexed at this comment. Consensus with the radeon developers is that EXA is more stable than XAA at this point, fixing some lockups when starting some OpenGL apps, amongst other things. I have used EXA on my Radeon for at least a year. Anyway ... I'm not too concerned about Ubuntu not 'supporting' EXA at this point ... but I am concerned that I can't start X without DRI disabled. So I've done some 'git bisect' work with xf86-video-ati. I went back a couple of months. Note that I've been running 'git current' of xserver, mesa, and friends on Gentoo for the past couple of years ( yeah, cvs current before the git migration ). Anyway, I *can't* find a particular point in the xf86-video-ati history that broke things. ie I don't think the issue is in xf86-video-ati. I have also git-bisected libdrm and the radeon module, back as far as I can actually build things. No luck here either. Now I'm building a 2.6.26 kernel. If this doesn't work out, then I'm betting the problem is in xserver. I will of course report any successes I have. But in the meantime, someone please rename this bug. ** Attachment added: "XAA lockup log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18250379/Xorg_xaa.0.log -- Xorg hangs due to EQ overflowing when EXA enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/276518 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
