Bug#282189: xserver-xfree86: Locks up computer upon start with Radeon 9600.
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
Severity: important
After doing a dist-upgrade of sid at Nov 18, 2004, X no longer works
with Radeon 9600. The last dist-upgrade before this was performed
on Oct 29. There have been no changes in the X configuration that
could have accounted for the breakage.
Symptoms:
After startx, the computer locks up hard - it's not possible to shut
Down X with C-A-Backspace, C-A-Delete have no effect and it's also
not possible to switch to a virtual console. The computer has to be
restarted using the reset or power button.
There is unfortunately no information about the error to be found as
far as I can see (it doesn't even create a /var/log/XFree86.log.0).
Similarily, there appears to be no specific messages regarding this
in the syslog.
Using the VESA driver, everything works as expected (albeit slowly).
I tried booting into my previous kernel (2.6.6-4-k8) to see if that
had anything to do with it, but with no luck.
