Bug#366114: xserver-xorg-video-ati: Machine freezes on Radeon 7000/VE with DRI enabled
Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.5.8.0-1
Severity: important
The machine often freezes after an indefinite time of running X. In these
cases, it doesn't respond to keyboard (including console switch), mouse or
network (including ping). Sometimes I can work for hours without a crash,
sometimes the machine crashes after a few minutes.
The crashes only appear when DRI is enabled. They appear in both version
6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 and 1:7.0.15 of the xserver-xorg package. I tried the debian
-k7 flavour of kernel versions 2.6.15-8 and 2.6.16-10. I tried different
settings for AGPMode ind the Device section of xorg.conf.
Finally, I know some way to reproduce the crash on my system. In the Gimp,
open the dialog "Adjust color curves". The move around the mouse over the
graph for a few seconds.
Greetings,
Sven
