Hi there, I have some stability problems with radeon cards in my system. Doing something involving 3D graphics (e.g. Blender) after a while (often within minutes) the screen locks up (mouse is still movable) and the Xorg process goes up to 99% CPU. To use the screen again I have to reboot.
>From the GDB backtrace of the X server I suspect it's a kernel module problem: #0 0xa7f11cc4 in ioctl () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 #1 0x080a2890 in xf86ioctl () #2 0xa7a92672 in drmCommandNone () from /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libdrm.so #3 0xa7a5181a in RADEONWaitForIdleCP () from /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so #4 0xa786758d in XAAInit () from /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libxaa.so #5 0xa78b19d7 in xf86InitCursor () from /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libramdac.so #6 0x08089e03 in xf86Wakeup () #7 0x080ca3f3 in WakeupHandler () #8 0x080e8731 in WaitForSomething () #9 0x080c9970 in Dispatch () #10 0x080d6765 in main () (at least the upper 4 calls are always the same, the rest differs) Does somebody have a hint? I don't want to believe it's a broken mainboard or something... Software: * Debian Etch (testing) * Xorg 6.9.0 (same with 6.8.0) * Linux Kernel 2.6.16-rc2+e (GIT, same with older kernels) * radeon.ko from kernel Hardware: * 2 x P3 1000MHz on Asus CUV266-D, 1 GB RAM * Radeon 9250, same problem with Radeon 7500 Everything is done with AGP 1x mode, as higher rates increase the chance to crash this system (even in 2D mode). I don't think it's a heat problem as there are enough fans and the cooler on the graphics card stays cold.
