Public bug reported: On Ubuntu 17.10 x64
Version 7.10 of xf-86-video-ati crashes the xserver as soon as you switch to another VT. The bug has been fixed upstream: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/commit/?id=34da04daec82077571558ac3fe1ec0c1203a01ad I compiled the code from that commit and replaced radeon_drv.so. The issue was gone. The package should be updated to at least this commit (which is just one commit after the official 7.10 release of the driver). Happened on a Radeon HD 8570 / R7 240/340 (1002:6611) Steps to reproduce: On a machine with a radeon card, start an X session (login manager is enough), then switch to another VT (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1) Result: server crashes. Expected result: x server not crashing so it's possible to switch back to the x session. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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/1733616 Title: X crashes on VT switch Status in xserver-xorg-video-ati package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On Ubuntu 17.10 x64 Version 7.10 of xf-86-video-ati crashes the xserver as soon as you switch to another VT.
