 Posted: Mon Mar 13, 2006 8:32 pm Post subject: ATI Drivers - system lockup |
 |
|
Hi
startx leads to visual artifacts and a system lockup (with "no_dri" set to "no" in xorg.conf).
I have been working on this for a long time  (searched the forums, went to theGentoo ATI Radeon FAQ and to Gentoo Wiki: HOWTO ATI Drivers).
The card is working for
- M$ Winz
- kernel radeon driver (direct rendering)
- fglrx driver, "no_dri" set to "yes"
I've tried both "yes and "no" for "UseInternalAGPGART"
I have a Soyo Sy-7vca board (via chipset) with a HIS Excalibur Radeon 9000 ViVo

Any framebuffer support enabled in kernel? If so, try with it disabled. This is only a guess, but I had lockups with it enabled.
Bye, Val. |

me too!!
I just updated and rebuilt the whole system with GCC 4.1. In doing this I inadvertently upgrade to the latest at-drivers package.
Now everytime I runstartx I get a system lockup.
I've had to temporarily switch to using the opensource (non-dri) driver!
I'll do some more investigation and find out why this is happening!
Cheers
Ferg

Are you using the 2.6.15 kernel?
There is currently issues with the 2.6.15 kernel and the ATI drivers, downgrading to the 2.6.14 kernel fixed all my problems

Hi Admiral_Trigger_Happy,
yes I am!!
However, I've been running 2.6.15-gentoo for quite a while with the previous version of the ATI-drivers.
I'll try downgrading and see if that fixes it!
Thanks
Ferg

I don't have any framebuffer support built in to the kernel. So IF we are having the same problem, then I don't think it is this!!!
Sorry!

Some additional infos:
If I switch to xorg-x11 opengl (just for fun) startx results in a black screen (instead of the visual artifacts) and the system doesnt lock up anymore (I can switch back to the console or I can kill X with Ctrl-Alt-backspace).
No idea if this is helpful for our problem  . |
