[Bug 131973] Re: desktop random freezes in feisty
Hi, everyone! Because my machine has no freezes with kernel 2.6.20-16.32-386 and MESA with indirect rendering, I made the following interesting test: On the page [url]http://www.unixboard.de/vb3/showthread.php?t=33850[/url] I found an instructions manual to get direct rendering with MESA. After configuring and restarting my system I had really direct rendering with MESA. But both kernels 2.6.20-16.32-generic and 2.6.20-16.32-386 freeze a few minutes after restart and using firefox. So I had to reinstall the ATI driver 8.40.4 with envy. In this context I have a question: If I change the AGPmode in the xorg.conf file to 4, the ATI Catalyst Control Center shows an 8x AGPmode under kernel 2.6.20-16.32-generic and an 0x AGPmode under kernel 2.6.20-16.32-386. Why does the driver overwrite the xorg.conf settings and where is perhaps a possibility to change this setting?

Hello altogether! I made the kernel update to version 16.31 and updated the Ati-driver by Envy to version 8.40.4; since this time my system runs pretty stable. But after 10 days without any freezes by multiple starts every day i had two freezes at friday evening. The first 8 minutes after start; the second 9 minutes after reset. Since another reset my system is working without any additional freezes up to the moment. I guess furthermore, that there are some periodical processes which are responsible for the freezes. Is there perhaps anything else like the periodical harddisc checking? Does anyone else know something about periodical actions?

Hello vista killer! I think there is a problem with the graphics driver, which is additional to the powernowd trigger responsible for the freezes. In the german forum - post http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/88548/195/ - a user reports that the newest nvidia drivers were responsible for his freezes. Only a downgrade from version NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.11-pkg2.run to NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.09-pkg2.run did succeed; his machine doesn't freeze anymore. Perhaps this a possibility to solve your problem.

Hi alltogether, I have the problem with freezes at random times too. My configuration is: ASUS P4C800 Deluxe Mainboard BIOS-Version: 1019.002 AMI-BIOS, Intel P4 2,6 GHz, 1024 MB RAM, ATI 9700 PRO, 160 GB Hitachi SATA-HDD as bootmedium, USB Keyboard and USB Maus from Logitech. I found out, that the freezes are associated with the following settings: Without any changes at the Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Alternate-installation my machine freezes with the Kernel 2.6.20-15-generic, 2.6.20-16-generic and 2.6.20-16-386. To get more stability I have to change 1. The Bios-Setting ACPI 2.0 support from disabled to enabled. 2. Uninstall powernowd 3. Install the ATI-driver 8.39.4 With these settings and Kernel 2.6.20-15-generic my machine runs without any freezes; with the kernels 2.6.20-16-generic and 2.6.20-16-386 my machine freezes within 30 minutes max. If I add the additional kernel parameters noapic nolapic irqpoll ht=on my machine freezes a few minutes after reboot with various programs. If I uninstall the restricted graphics driver my machine freezes a few minutes after disabling and with all kernels above-mentioned and various programs. While I am writing this comment I test the sudo /etc/init.d/powernowd stop with kernel 2.6.20-16-generic - it still works.
