------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-07-07 13:37 ------- Thanks for the comments Roy. I agree with you: I think this is only occuring with certain combinations of mobo/chipsets and video cards. And, to tell you the truth, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Via's fault ;-). I hate that company more and more as I continue to painstakingly use their products. I did some scouring of the web and I found out that Mike Harris @ Redhat was actually working on this problem back when it was popping up for RH users while X was at 4.2. He wrote a patch for radeon_drv that claimed to FIX the problem, and that patch was integrated into the Redhat XFree86 4.2 rawhide. Unfortunately, the patch is no longer available on his site. I did see a bunch of other X patches there... ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/ I personally have no clue how Redhat development works, but aren't patches like this sent back to the XFree team to be integrated into the source tree/CVS there? Or is this patch currently only available to Redhat users? In the errata that includes the patch, Redhat writes: "Fix a problem which caused certain combinations of Radeon and Rage 128 hardware and particular motherboards to hang, due to bus mastering getting disabled when VT switching." Check out the bugzilla bug report here: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62171 And the errata here: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-066.html Maybe this sheds some more light on the issue? -Andrew ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
