munbi, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product- support/product/latitude-e6540-laptop/drivers/advanced an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (A16). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a16 ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1466053 Title: System hangs completely when executing glxgears with DRI_PRIME=1 Status in xserver-xorg-video-ati package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I'm using a Dell Latitude E6540 laptop with hybrid graphics (Intel HD + Radeon HD8790M). Using DRI_PRIME=1 to offload to the discrete GPU causes different problems, from simple program crash to complete system hang (i.e. no ctrl-alt-F1, no external ssh access, only long-press power button shutdown possible). When system does not hang (app crash) the error is always something concerning 'dri2_allocate_textures' in gallium. For example: $ DRI_PRIME=1 glxgears (hangs system) Black window displayed, resizing it a bit makes 3D gears appear, resizing a little more completely hangs system $ DRI_PRIME=1 /media/data/opt/SweetHome3D-4.4/SweetHome3D (application crash) Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -javaagent:/usr/share/java/jayatanaag.jar Java 3D: implicit antialiasing enabled java: ../../../../../../src/gallium/state_trackers/dri/dri2.c:526: dri2_allocate_textures: Assertion `drawable->textures[statt]' failed.
