Bug#374986: xserver-xorg-video-ati: [2.6.17/radeon] Xserver and console dead, rt_sigaction looping, not killable



Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.5.8.0-1
Severity: important

Hello,

my Radeon X800GTO,PCIe card does not work with kernel 2.6.17 anymore.
With 2.6.16 there was no such problem. Now the driver gets up and in the
moment where it usualy changes the resolution the monitor goes off and
the console seems to be dead. Keyboard does not react, not even magic
sys-rq does work. I can login from remote but I cannot kill X any more.
It hangs and eats 99% CPU power (displayed by top).

Unfortunately the VESA driver shows similar symptoms (it has failed
already with 2.6.16), however I have not straced it yet. I believe that
VESA has been working with Xorg 6.8 or 6.9 and kernel versions from
those days.

Do you have any suggestions? Should I forward the issue to LKML?

Relevant strace log parts attached.

Eduard.
