Bug#457311: on Apple ibook, the use of the external display freeze the system
Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.7.197~git20071219.ce4fa1ce-1
Severity: important
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
With the new experimental xserver-xorg-video-ati my ibook freezes as soon as I
try to use the external display either booting with the monitor plugged or
booting without, plugging it and doing a "xrandr --output vga-0 --auto".
My card:
0000:00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M9+ 5C63 [Radeon
Mobility 9200 (AGP)] (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc Apple iBook G4 2004
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 255, IRQ 48
Memory at 98000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
I/O ports at 0400 [size=256]
Memory at 90000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Expansion ROM at f1000000 [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: [58] AGP version 2.0
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
My card configuration in xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ati"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:0:16:0"
Option "MacModel" "ibook"
Option "AGPMode" "4"
EndSection
I try to tail the syslog log by ssh when enabling the vga output but it gave
no result. If there is something I can do to investigate further, just ask.
Sincerely,
Yannick
