--- Comment #6 from Alex Villacis Lasso <avill...@ceibo.fiec.espol.edu.ec> 2009-10-14 15:40:58 --- 2.6.31, 2.6.31.1, and 2.6.31.3 do not have the bug. 2.6.31.3 is what I am running right now. 2.6.32.rc1/2 do have the bug. I am aware that rc1 and rc2 are actually the same tag. I posted the same question at xorg-driver-...@lists.x.org and got the following response: ---------------------------- >>> > >> Adding Option "DRI" "off" to xorg.conf allows me to start up X, but I >>> > >> lose DRI and compiz. >>> > >> >>> > >> I would like your opinion about the following issues: >>> > >> * Should I expect DRI to continue working for radeon in a setup with a >>> > >> newer kernel and old userspace? >>> > >> * Have any of you experienced anything similar with 2.6.32-rc2 onwards? >>> > >> >> > > >> > > F10 and F11 radeon kernel and userspace are not compatible with >> > > upstream.

You should rather try Fedora12 livecd or update to rawhide we made several improvement that we are adding to fedora12. ---------------------------- But I still think that the kernel should behave in a way that will at least give me back control of the machine without a hard reset. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
