 |
|
I'm new to this forum so that I should possibly start off with - Hello everyone!
I will try to describe my problem in the biggest detail I can. I'm running a kernel 2.6.24-r8 along with XOrg v. ~7.3 and ATI-Drivers v. 8.476 my graphic card is Radeon Mobility X1800. Everything would be just fine if not the issue I'm facing. There are random X lockups when using for example 'glxgears'. Once the X server freezes my computer doesn't respond (you can't even log onto it trough SSH) at all so that the only way to get over the problem is to switch it off and dan power it back on - a hard reboot. I've been browsing dozens and dozens of websites trying to find a solution to my problem however with no luck. Maybe here I would find someone who would help me solve my problem. Here are some of logs and stuff:
This is how the system recognize the card:
| Code: | desk ~ # lspci -v | grep ATI
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M58 [Radeon Mobility X1800] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
|
Here is my xorg.conf:
http://newton.uwm.edu.pl/~lp449/logs/xorg.conf
That's what 'glxifo' says:
http://newton.uwm.edu.pl/~lp449/logs/glxinfo
Here is the Xorg.log:
http://newton.uwm.edu.pl/~lp449/logs/Xorg.0.log
What I've done so far is disabled FrameBuffer support in the kernel, and added a AGP support for my chipset ... and tried many "Options" in "Device" section of my xorg.conf. I'm new to using X window system on a Linux machine and what I would like to get working is a DRI without freezes as well as compiz-fusion after the issue is solved.
Any of your help will be greatly appreciated. |

well i would
emerge --sync
emerge -auvDN world
revdep rebuild
then I would read carefuly this:
http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=6794
This might help.
There are few posts in this forum about some ATI freezes... So have a look at them. We opened a couple of them and it might work with this.
I would also check the card in another computer and another OS just to see if everything is fine (try to run the free game neverball to see if it freezes)
the card might be defectuous.
Then check your IRQs for any conflicts (see daniel robbins linux stability guide part II in google) and you rafns, etc.
Good luck! |
