 Posted: Mon May 03, 2010 11:27 pm Post subject: radeon + KDE effects = hard lockup after upgrade |
 |
|
I have an older laptop with a Radeon Mobility 7500 card. I'm using the "radeon" driver because this card is too old to work with ATI's binary driver. Until now, it's been working fine. However, after the most recent xorg upgrade (xorg-server, mesa, the drivers, etc.) the system freezes completely as soon as KDE tries to enable desktop effects. This is a really hard lockup - I can't log in remotely, and the system doesn't even respond to the ACPI power button event. I have to hard power it off. If I leave desktop effects off, glxgears works and glxinfo reports that direct rendering is enabled.
I have nothing useful to post from log files, because they don't get written when the system freezes. I don't really need desktop effects, but they worked fine until now so I'd like to get them fixed. Any help would be appreciated.
Some info that might be useful:

I don't know if this is relevant: After the same xorg upgrade, I had similar symptoms on a desktop with an Intel graphics card graphics card. Upgrading to the 2.6.31 kernel fixed it in that case, but didn't help with this ATI card. |

Upgrade to the latest masked version of xf86-video-ati.

| I tried xf86-video-ati-6.13.0 but it didn't help. I get exactly the same lockup. |

Do you have KMS enabled in your kernel?

I don't see any KMS option for the Radeon DRI driver in the kernel's "menuconfig".
I just noticed: The only direct rendering manager I have installed is "ATI Radeon". I thought that was correct since I have a Radeon graphics card. However, my AGP chipset seems to be "PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82845 845 [Brookdale] Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 04)". Does that mean I should be using the "Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G" direct rendering manager? But direct rendering "works" as it is - at least, it is reported to be enabled by glxinfo. I won't have physical access to this machine until Monday, so I'll have to wait until then to try. |

| Very often for users which upgrade from old kernels, there are still options like radeonfb enabled which cause trouble with current drm. |

| I do have ATI framebuffer support compiled in (FB_RADEON=y). I didn't notice that. (I don't use the framebuffer for graphics, just to get a higher resolution in the console.) I'll try taking that out on Monday and see if it helps. |

I really don't think that'll help.
I think this is a bug. With the latest mesa performance is real low on my x1270. The 6th version of mesa worked the best, but after that, it's all bad.
More interesting will be your xorg.conf... if you do not have, generate one and show.

| I've already posted my xorg.conf at the top. There's very little in it other than the modes. What do you mean by "generate one"? Can I get Xorg to generate a complete xorg.conf with all of the options that it normally auto-detects? |

I had the same problem....if I ssh in from another machine I saw X was at 100% cpu. Could kill and would work for a while. Tried several things but this seems to have fixed it.

To generate and xorg.conf, switch to the login shell and -
Xorg -configure...check the messages it gives and post the new xorg.conf.
