Package: fglrx-modules-2.6.26-1-686 Version: 2.6.26+8-12-2 Severity: important
This is an ephemereal thing, and I'm not sure fglrx is the real cause, but its presence makes it manifest. When the fglrx kernel driver is loaded, gdm is running, and X is using the fglrx driver (all from testing as of 2009/03/23), there are two ways to lock the computer (Acer Travelmate 8100) so, that nothing except five seconds of power button has any effect: 1. Try to kill gdm with /etc/init.d/gdm stop. This actually does not hang yet, but it does not kill all the processes, there is one instance of gdm and one of X still running after this. Nothing appears in the log files. Now, to try to kill either of these still running processes either has no effect (even by root with kill -9) or locks the computer as described. 2. Try to hibernate the computer with s2disk from uswsusp. The display switches to console, with the preliminary hibernation message, and after that, nothing happens. Only way out through the power button. A few times it has been possible to switch to another VT, and actually write a command using the root accout loogged in there, but after pressing enter, nothing happens, and no prompt appears any more. In neither case, there's nothing in the log files that seems related to the case, things just stop. If I remove the fglrx kernel driver from my system, both 1. and 2. work as they should. It does not matter, whether I use the precompiled modules from testing or compile the modules with module assistant. I'm willing to provide more information, but need to be productive, and did remove fglrx kernel module already, as I don't strictly need it. I'd attach the logs if they had anything to show around the times of the crash...
