Bug#632831: mesa: X freeze after update on AMD64/Radeon
Package: mesa
Version: 7.10.3-3
Severity: normal
After a updating my Debian/testing system on 2011-07-04, amongst others
...
libgl1-mesa-dev:amd64 (7.10.2-3, 7.10.3-3),
xserver-xorg-core:amd64 (1.10.1-2, 1.10.2-2),
xserver-common:amd64 (1.10.1-2, 1.10.2-2),
libxcb-xv0:amd64 (1.7-2, 1.7-3),
libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 (7.10.2-2, 7.10.3-3),
libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 (7.10.2-3, 7.10.3-3),
mesa-common-dev:amd64 (7.10.2-3, 7.10.3-3),
libdrm-radeon1:amd64 (2.4.25-2, 2.4.25-3),
...
I experienced X window system freezes when starting 3d-Applications
(supertuxkart, neverputt) with symptoms as described in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze#Reporting_GPU_lockup_Bugs
* X stops responding to input
* The screen displays but does not update.
* X cannot be killed; switch to text-mode console not possible,
only a reboot clears the state.
This happened "reliably" and reproducable. (Because of the needed hard-reset
and new boot I did not test more applications.)
I cannot tell whether it would have been possible to ssh into the computer
(missing a second computer with the required setup).
I run XFCE4, without compiz.
