Hi. I've started to see "hangs" with X on an ATI RS690 with a 2.6.26 kernel. The symptoms are that load average goes up, X stops accepting keypresses or mouse clicks, but the cursor still moves around the screen in response to the mouse being moved. I can't switch to a VT but can ssh in remotely to see that things are still running. I don't seem to be able to kill X but "shutdown -r now" cleanly reboots.
gdb fails to attach - complains about an internal error. strace shows lots of ioctls against the DRM device all returning EBUSY. 2.6.25 appears to work fine. I originally had PAT enabled under 2.6.26 but have seen a patch fixing that go into git, so disabled it for my 2.6.26 kernel to see if that was the issue; no change AFAICT. Enabling DRM debug (echo 1 > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug) gives lots of output from radeon_freelist_get, after the following ioctl is received: Jul 25 10:11:14 meepok kernel: [drm:drm_ioctl] pid=3302, cmd=0xc0406429, nr=0x29 , dev 0xe200, auth=1 and then a returning NULL message. radeon driver is recent git - 1c5858484da4fb1c9bc3ac3b4d7a97863ab99730 but I've seen it with older revisions too. It can take a couple of days for me to hit the problem, so a git bisect could be a lengthy process. If anyone has any suggestions about faster ways to track down the issue I'd like to hear them.
