PostPosted: Fri May 25, 2007 2:30 am    Post subject: Xorg hangs on exit Reply with quote

When I try to switch from X to another VT, or even hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, I get a blank screen, requiring me to reboot. I have a Nvidia 6100 under a MCP61 nforce chipset, this problem only happens with the "nvidia" driver ("nv" works normally), with or without framebuffer. Running under ~amd64. Does anyone have any clue?

Has this happened just now? Is Windows okay? Which nvidia driver versions have been tried?

I have this problem too, using x11-base/xorg-x11-7.2. Killing xorg server, even rebooting or shutting down most times it wont do it cleanly. I wish I could produce more information. Very stange.

My card is
Mobile ATI Technologies Inc RS485 [Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP]

I got similiar problem, but it looks slightly different. When I'm shutting down or rebooting my PC, xorg exits in a clean way, but when I want to end current session and logout it freezes. I have no idea why it happens, I'm using fgrlx drivers (unmasked coz I can't compile stable ones). My xorg-x11 version is 7.2, kde 3.5.5-r4, ati-drivers 8.35.5 using fgrlx and kdm 3.5.5-r1.

I can't find anything suspicius in my X logs...
The only error is about rendering:
Code:
prywata ~ # cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep EE
        (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so failed (/usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: _glapi_add_entrypoint)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

As far as nvidia hardware goes, my 7600GT is fine with whatever driver but my 6600 Go only goes as far as 9631-r1. Any driver more recent it delivers a black screen on close of X, but not frozen - ctrl-alt-del works to reboot the laptop.

Hmm, my xorg.log reveals the same MIT Screen Saver error, but this is the only one in the log:

Code:
Current Operating System: Linux partridge-macbook 2.6.22-rc1-macbook-coreduo #3 SMP PREEMPT Sun May 20 23:28:28 CDT 2007 i686
        (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER


I use Intel for graphics, and haven'te seen other xorg problems - i.e. I can play a games in a different resolutions and not have issues.

I check the kernel and didn't see this extension, so it must be part of xorg-server? Any have and ideas?

I have the same problem. The only solution, when it happens is to do a cold reboot.
I first noticed this problem a week ago. So the problem had to be brought by some package that got updated not so long ago.
I'm on amd64 with the nvidia-driver.

A message prefixed with "(II)" is simply an informational message. Nothing to get alarmed about.

I'm having similar problems. When I log out of my window manager (using ratpoison as default), I get a black screen (don't know if system freezes, can't do anything).
Seems like this is an issue of kdm (using 3.5.5-r1). Because when I use SLiM I get no problems at all.
Using ati-drivers-8.36.5.

I use gdm...

EDIT:
I am always able to reproduce my problem. If I login to KDE. Then open a new session, and login to fluxbox. Then going back to the KDE session makes the machine hang. I can see and move the mouse cursor. Numlock and caps lock does not work, ctrl+alt+delete, ctrl+alt+backspace does not work.

I thought it was due to xinit. I upgraded it some days ago. I downgraded but the problem still exists.

Any ideas?

Updated to unstable gdm-2.16.6 and it appears to have solved the issue. Too early to tell yet. I'll report back if their are any problems.

Update: No, my System does not freeze on logout but just the Screen goes black. I can still login to a Terminal and shutdown/reboot the machine.

My system will hang on exit from X11/KDE if the root file system was checked when the machine booted. Of course since it hangs, I have to shut it down using the big red switch which causes the root file system to be checked on the next boot ...

The cycle is broken if I switch to a vconsole, manually stop kdm, and then do a shutdown from the vconsole.
