Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-2
Followup-For: Bug #345929
I see something which fits some of the other descriptions
for bug #345929:
6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 worked perfect, after upgrade to 6.9.0
my IBM T42p regularly crashes hard (no SysRq, no ping,
the whole thing is just frozen; kernel NMI-watchdog doesn't
kick in, all I can do is power off).
I tried kernels 2.6.14 and 2.6.15 with and without radeonfb,
and I tried to disable acceleration and clock scaling for the
radeon X driver.
Nothing helps.
Sometimes the crash happens already during xdm startup, sometimes
it can take hours for the crash to happen, but usually it crashes
within ten minutes after boot. If I use firefox or gvim the crash
happens sooner than if I just use xterm + vim. If I grab a gvim
window with the mouse and wiggle it around X is likely to crash
within a minute.
I tried using the 6.8.2 radeon driver with 6.9.0 but it seems
the binary formats are incompatible?
For the moment I work around this by using radeonfb + fbdev X driver.
