Same here with
Also reported by me for the ATI Radeon RV370 X300 SE and somebody
else for a differently branded card with the same chip.
When using the ati/radeon driver, the system crashes too fast to leave
any log (literally, Xorg.0.log was not changed), so I can't provide any
information from there.
Yup.
As a workaround, install the version 6.13 driver. A separate port
has been created for it.
# portupgrade -o x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati613 xf86-video-ati
That's sad, yet another panic :(. This time that's me who is lucky. I've
got a radeon 4330 and it's working absolutely fine.
Just to put this thread into context, the new driver improves the
situation for some people, of course you don't see them complaining
here.
In light of this just for testament, it has improved the performance of my
Radeon 9700 Pro (R300).
My machine has 2 ATI cards, one onboard (HD4200) and one in the PCIE
slot (HD5770). The new driver allows me to switch back to the console
when using the HD5770.
Just one card here in the AGP slot of this old mother board. Some tweaking
that I had to do in order to get it to behave was switch it to PCI mode,
and a few other things listed here:
Option "DMAForXv" "off"
Option "BusType" "PCI"
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
Option "DynamicPM" "on"
Option "Int10" "on"
Option "DRI" "off"
Option "RenderAccel" "on"
Keep in mind though that this is a hacked up machine with a new video card
in even older hardware so settings mentioned here will rarely match new
machines with equally new hardware.
In conjunction with the Xorg upgrade a reproducible panic with certain
combinations of BIOS and xorg.conf configurations disappeared.
These combinations still don't work, but instead of panicking the
system, the Xorg process can be killed and the xorg.conf can be
changed to a working configuration without a reboot or risk of
data loss.
No panics here because of the driver or new X.org but until the settings
above were put into place and after a few thousand redraws of a browser on
this system I was left to hit the power button and wait for watchdog to
kick in and shut the system down because a frozen non responsive screen.
All is well now. Thanks for the upgrades! nice job to all!
